“Dad's Got A Ukulele ”  

This song is based on a poem by Paul Cookson. He's written a lot of poems and has a wonderful website! Check it out for more poetry and songs by him. Click here to get there...if you see what I mean!

 

(If you'd like to play along with the backing track then strum for 8 beats after the 'nice-man-on-the-pooter' counts you in, THEN start singing the song! Have a go!)

After being in touch with Mr Cookson, my friends at Parkhill Primary School, Wednesbury did a brand new recording, just for him!

We sent it to him and hope he likes it as much as we enjoyed learning, playing and recording it!
