Ukulele Blues Band

Liner Notes:
A lyric born from three of my grandchildren. Marvin is the eldest (Dalton), then comes Link (Ethan), and the purple flamingo, Freddie is granddaughter Alex...who likes purple. I couldn't get melody before the closing bell, but now that's its posted maybe it'll come. I do have a harmonica and steel drum and of course a ukulele so who knows!
Lyrics:
Marvin the Monkey played the ukulele
Though he’d rather monkey around
He dressed like a pirate though far from the ocean
He dreamed of a tour out of town
They played the blues like the monkey’s fur
Which was a sort of sea green blue
With Freddie the Flamingo on Steel drums
Link the Lion played the harp too
Freddie Flamingo was a shade of purple
The lion was green as can be
They did a famous tour up on the moon
Playing for some sea anemone
They played the blues like the monkey’s fur
Which was a sort of sea green blue
With Freddie the Flamingo on Steel drums
And Link the Lion played the harp too
Link sometimes looks at Marvin
Like he would make a nice snack
But he likes playing in the band
So will wait until they get back
They played the blues like the monkey’s fur
Which was a sort of sea green blue
With Freddie the Flamingo on Steel drums
And Link the Lion played the harp too
