Feb 2022 ukulele pretty shaker
I wrote this during Corinne's Sunday Skirmish, and it took about 5 minutes. But I didn't get around to recording it until yesterday. Simple uke tune, added a shaker for percussion.
I was just a man on the outside
always looking for a place to hide
then you came and took me by the hand
to the dance floor to a far-off land
So pretty, so pretty
too pretty – how could this be?
so pretty, so pretty,
too pretty for a guy like me
I am just an average guy
you were looking at me I wondered why
you came and asked me for a dance
dim lights, slow music, circumstance
So pretty, so pretty
too pretty – how could this be?
so pretty, so pretty,
too pretty for a guy like me

Wonderful little song. Ukulele & soft voice fits the song perfectly.

Great feel to this with the shaker and uke strum. Catchy chorus!

Well written. You might try saying "Too Pretty for a pretty average guy like me".

This has an island feel to it. I am enjoying the rhythm of your strum. The chords are cool too. Cute romantic lyric,

This got my head nodding from the offset!
A great addition to the "I can't believe my luck" sub genre.

perfect song for dancing with a stranger in a saturday night honky tonk

what great fun, and as always, great to hear ya here! I did this 'pretty' challenge too and (of course) went in a less pretty direction, lol.
the playing and singing on this is wonderfully joyous and fits the theme well. shaker for the win!

This is a fun song. Makes me think of two people dancing away at a beach side cabana.
