I don’t understand why there is so little people that like this song! It is so good and deserves more credit tbh
This song is GREAT for a beginner. It’s so much fun to play on the ukulele, and the lyrics are so cute. I got my very first ukulele three days ago, and I’ve already mastered this song- it’s that easy. I definitely recommend it for beginners.
I played this cause of kickthepj
I love this song and it’s so easy on the uke!
This was the first song I tried to learn on the uke and it’s the perfect amount of challenge.
