This is the end of my full series on Beginner Ukulele for Preschool Teachers and Children’s Librarians. Start at the beginning!

Just for the fun of it, let’s briefly learn 8 more chords and 5 more songs:

(C) Do you know the muffin man,
the (Dm) muffin man, the (G) muffin man.
(C) Yes, I know the muffin man
he (Dm) lives on (G) Drury (C) Lane

There (D) was a farmer (G) had a (D) dog
And Bingo (A7) was his (D) name-o
B-I-(G) N-G-O! (A7) B-I (D)-N-G-O!
B-I-(G) N-G-O! And (A7) Bingo was his (D) name -o

(A) Five Green and Speckled Frogs (D) sat on a speckled log,
(A) eating some most delicious (E7) bugs. Yum yum.
(A) One jumped into the pool, (D) where it was nice and cool
(A) now there are (E7) four green and speckled (A) frogs

You’ll notice Em and B7 are the same chord shape, just shifted up or down one string. That makes it easier to transition between them, although as an intermediate player, I find I’m still not smooth at making that shift.

The (Em) ants go marching one by one hur(G)rah hurrah
The (Em) ants go marching one by one hur(G)rah hur(B7)rah
The (Em) ants go marching (D)one by one,
the (Em) little one stops to (B7)suck his thumb
and they (Em)all (D)go (Em) march(B7)ing
(Em) down (B7)to the (Em) ground
(B7)to get (Em) out (B7)of the (Em) rain.
Boom (B7)Boom (Em)Boom.
