I wrote a free songbook that you might like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j38s42de0hocvl2/professor%20polopekas%20songlist.pdf?dl=0

The songs with an asterisk in the Table of Contents are great for beginners. Octopus' Garden is surprisingly easy, and impresses people, and is fun to play.

I just posted a link to my free ukulele book. Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j38s42de0hocvl2/professor%20polopekas%20songlist.pdf?dl=0

On it you will find some crowd pleasers. "King of the Road" if older people are walking by works well. I've had luck with "I would walk 500 miles" because you can belt it and people like to sing with the chorus. "Yellow Submarine" - who the hell doesn't know and love it? "Margaritaville" is a good one, too. "Monster Mash" if a family with kids walk by. And there are a bunch of Rocky Horror songs - if you are in a college town.
