Oh my fingers are freezing
I can’t strum
Maybe I’m too old
To use my thumb
Picks feel funny
They fly off into space
When I’m playing so fast
And my heart does race
Oh my fingers are freezing
Can’t press that chord
Maybe I’m too old
Shoulda stuck with the washboard
But here comes the sun
Warming my ol’ thumb joint
Ukulele, better than computer games
Where I just click and point…
