Some of the posts on this thread refer to "uke chords" when, of course, a "C chord" is a "C chord" no matter what instrument you play it on. Forming the chord is different, but a ukulele player uses any sheet music with chords and can play it by knowing, or looking up, the chords.

Here's one of my current favorites:
RUM AND COCA-COLA
by Morey Ansterdam, Jeri Sullavan and Paul Baron
(These guys were sued for stealing this tune, but
that's a whole 'nother story.)

[C] If you ever go down, Trinidad
they make you feel very [G7]glad.
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one good, real fine time.

[C] Drinking rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Pointe [Dm7] Koo [G7] ma-nah.
Both motha and daughta
Working for the [Dm7] Yankee [C] dolla.

there's million verses, and if you like suggestive ones, the lyrics to The Big Bamboo fit in nicely also.
