Yeah, kind of a neat song. It sort of has a tone to it like, "Oops! I messed up my life. Well, I hope you don't make the same mistakes I did." The speaker only seems to care about one thing at a time: first his wife, and then his business. Sure, those things are important, but then he ends up losing other important things by placing all importance on a few things. He loses his friends when he becomes too wrapped up in his wife, but then loses his wife when he becomes too concerned with his business. It's sort of interesting that his father says, "Don't fool with fools who'll turn away" but then the speaker ends up becoming one of the "fools who'll turn away."
Of course, the best part is the "Genuine Aloha Ukelele" (Made in Japan). Everyone loves ukeleles!
