Mmm-mm-mm-mmm, I’m humming
Mmm-mm-mm-mmm, and I’m strumming

Give it a try, give it a try
Strum with your fingers and thumb
You can use just one or two or three
Even four or all five, it’s easy
Mmm-mm-mm-mmm, you’re humming
Mmm-mm-mm-mmm, and you’re strumming
You can strum with your fingers and thumb
Moving up and down so steadily
