about

A ukulele song in the style of the1920's and 30's.

lyrics

People are sticky
They get attached so easily
If you’re only lookin for a quickie
Don’t fool around with me
Cause I’m stuck on you
And that’s the way that it is.

People are mammals
Somewhere up the family tree
Just like monkeys and camels
Warm and fuzzy like me
Don’t have to say a word
To show the way that I feel

I have a medulla oblongata
Right at the bottom of my brain
It keeps my heart beatin and it keeps me breathin
Just like a choo choo train.

People are funny
Strange but not ha ha
They all make a different kind of honey
From wherever they’ve had their fal-de-a
And that’s why I’m here
And why I’m singing this song.

I know that there might be some exceptions
Some people really take the cake
There are a few who are not sticky but slimy
Not like a mammal but a snake, but in general

Repeat 1st verse

I learned to pick sitting in Washington Square as a teenager. However, I did not begin writing songs until my 50's. I am also a poet and artist. I live in Wasnhington State and in Israel. ... more
