|
On the isle of Filla Lilla out Hawaii way |
|
A hula maiden gay strolled by on moonlit bay |
|
There come-a to court her over the water |
|
From a savage Zinga-Zululand |
|
A bolo chief-tain grand sang her this lay. |
|
Hawaii hula |
|
Smile on your zing gang a zula. |
|
Moonshine above on your sweet jungle love. |
|
For you my bolo is swinging |
|
For you my love song I'm singing |
|
Come be my hula hula love. |
|
But the chief-tain from the peaceful Filla Lilla land |
|
Would not give him her hand |
|
her love took his stand |
|
Through the rattle of the battle as she heard |
|
His sweet voice calm and true |
|
They fled in his canoe over water blue. |
|
And he sang hulu |
|
Hawaii hula |
