How to Play the SpongeBob Song on the Ukulele

The ukulele is a fun instrument to play, and since it is less common than other instruments such as the guitar, ukulele players can sometimes have a hard time finding chords for songs they wish to play. The animated television program "SpongeBob SquarePants" frequently uses ukulele in its musical score. One of the most commonly searched and played SpongeBob songs on the Internet is "The F.U.N. Song."
