Ukulele Ike’s
Comic Song Book
For The Ukulele
No. 2
True, indeed, is the saying to the effect that, if one can
“make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, the world
will beat a path to his door.”
For the whole world, — the ukulele-loving world, — has
been beating, and continues to beat a well-trodden route
to Cliff Edwards, the famous “Ukulele Ike”, — pre-emii
ent as he is among contemporary ukulelists. Mr. Edwards
phonograph record success and his vaudeville and musical
comedy tnumphs have definitely established him as the
master of America’s own beloved instrument, — the
unassuming ukulele.
Thus, itis with much pride and pleasure thatMr. Edwards
publishers announce that insistent and far-reaching
demand has made necessary the publication of “Ukulele
Ike’s Comic Song Book for the Ukulele—No. 2"—pre-
sented herewith. Here his admirers will find'a new ace-
umulation of “Ukulele Ike's” most recent and successful
material,—some say it is even better than the first. But
that is for you to judge.
We sincerely thank the legion of Mr. Edwards’ followers
who have so heartily supported his first book, and whose
response has made necessary the production of this sequel.
We also take this opportunity to extend our appreciation
to Messrs. Raymond Klages and Jesse Greer, for their
cooperation in the collaboration of this anthology.Annie Bailey
