Just a little simple tune. The first-ever song I've written with my Ukelele. Just learning and having fun :-)
She’s got four wheels,
She’s bright bright yellow,
It makes me smile,
When we toast marshmallows,
in my van
I’m happy in my van
She’s heavy metal,
Her name is Netty,
I’ve a camping kettle and can make spaghetti,
In my van,
I’m happy in my van.
Off I go, on the road,
Trundling along,
In my van I can go far,
But I can’t go far wrong….
She’s got four wheels,
She’s bright bright yellow,
It makes me smile,
When we toast marshmallows,
in my van
I’m happy in my van
She’s heavy metal,
Her name is Netty,
I’ve a camping kettle and can make spaghetti,
In my van,
I’m happy in my van.

The ukulele does everything it needs to here :) the verse with metal/kettle and Netty/spaghetti makes me smile, I'm very happy it happens twice! Cute song, good work!

Just what I needed on a Monday morning, thank you! Great distraction from boring work. You've got just the right balance between sweetness and sharp wit. Agree with @n24 on the 'heavy metal' and 'spaghetti' lines being standout. I want a picture of Netty now!
@n24 Feb 2022
This is super sweet! The recording's nice and clear and your uke sounds punchy. I love the lyrics too, particular favourite is "She’s heavy metal, Her name is Netty, I’ve a camping kettle and can make spaghetti, " which is an excellent stacked rhyme! Keep up the good work

This gave me such huge smiles! I only learned uke about five years ago (and haven't gotten any better) but they are SO MUCH FUN! You sounded great and this song is such a fantastic story. Tons of fun and a great way to start FAWM!

I’m a van fan, and this song is delightful. I may need to learn it to sing on our next family camp out….in our van! Oh, and this is the first time I’ve ever heard the word “trundling” in a song. We’ll done!
@ineloquentsd Feb 2022
This feels like it could be from the Adventure Time soundtrack, & I mean that in the best possible way. It’s so cheerful, and the lyrics are focused in small, which really paints a detailed and accessible image. Well done!
@sjbatavia Feb 2022
I'm envious of the you and your van. One of my fantasies is to get a van and take off. Oh, maybe someday.
Fun little song by the way.
@fuzzy Feb 2022
Ah, such a sweet sweet love song for your van!
And a great first ukulele tune!!
A perfect ukulele song here.
Yeah, well done!
@timfatchen Feb 2022
Just lovely! makes me want to go out and pat "Tilley" my 1982 Coleman popup . SUperb first uke song, just so bright and happy. I don't believe it's possible to make a miserable song with a uke. Applause!
@wobbiewobbit Feb 2022
you are doing great on uke! that is a very neat song, a perfect little package. i love these lines..
"In my van I can go far,
But I can’t go far wrong"
… love the catchy refrain and charming delivery. woo hoo congratulations!
@judypie Feb 2022
Netty sounds awesome, and so do you! Cutest ode to a van ever! Wooop on your first song on uke!
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
Your rhymes are cute and underpinned perfectly by the uke. I'd be totes happy in this van too... perhaps we all need a netty?
