I don't know what a real ukulele player will suggest, but on a theoretical level, a II7-V7-I progression in any key is a vamp. So D7-G7-C, B7-E7-A, E7-A7-D and so on are all handy to have under your fingers. Once you leave the first position you might notice that a pattern of closed chords can be used to walk up the neck and play vamps in any key.
Or, if you're asking for a different style of vamp, lots of slack key tunes use the V7-I vamp. D7-G in Taropatch (G), G7-C in a C tuning, and so on.

benjammin,
it sounds like you're strumming. have you tried doing your II7-V7-I in an inversion. for example, in F you do G7-C7-F, which you are probably playing
0212, 0001, 2010
so try instead
4532, 3433, 5558
take a look at http://www.sheep-entertainment.nl/ukulele/chordfinder.html for finding more inversions...
aloha,
keith

Right on!, that will keep me busy for a bit. Yeah, I guess I strum more often than pick, but I have some cross over skills from my self taught banjo days, too. I'm sort of in a self taught plateau I guess!

benjammin,
oh, a banjo player! then, try this turnaround in the key of C (D7, G7, C):
first, hold the chord x655 barring the bottom two strings with your index
(like a Bb, except at the fifth fret), and with your ring finger ready to
press on the bottom string at the seventh fret (that is, a x657 chord).
pick the strings downward, eg x6xx, xx5x, xxx7, xxx5
(that is, first pick the C string at fret 6, then the E string at fret 5, etc).
then, slide down to x532 with your pinky ready to hammer on the bottom
string at the fifth fret, and play
x5xx, xx3x, xxx2, xxx5
then play a C, say 0003 or 5433.
aloha,
keith
