Lyrics:
I’m Just a middle-aged guy with a ukulele
a little thick around the middle and a little too old
to be a big star yeah, baby, on YouTube TV
I’m just a mid-life crisis right before your eyes
but it really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise
I been looking for a box in the closet that used to hold my dreams
Used to have me a whole mess of songs
Man, they were gonna make me a star
Used to play them every Tuesday night
In an old, smoky, downtown college bar
Middle-aged guy with a ukulele
sitting on a couch and watching Chelsea Lately
and if I don’t have a stroke I think I’m gonna finish this song
Got a Hawaiian shirt from Tommy Bahama
A cozy little life without a lot of drama
and my Facebook looks like high-school-a-rama again
All the old school email me
we talk about the good old times
when we were young and our dreams were green
and that’s better than rotten every single time
(repeat verse 1 and 2)
Youth of America
You might wanna listen to me
Before the only dream you have is hoping you don’t turn out like me
(repeat verse 1 and 3)

From his notes: This about 400 year old traditional tune could be found in nearly every classical guitar book. Here it is transcribed for and played on a Kala Acacia tenor ukulele in low-A tuning. Tabulature for this tune can be downloaded at http://www.box.net/shared/nq09gkbcuj
