Lyrics
My heart is yearning
My thoughts are turning ever
A maid, I met her
I can forget her never
She was a sweet Hawaiian
A little Hula dancing maiden
And for her now I’m sighin’
My heart with love is heavy laden
REFRAIN
I left her on the beach at Hololulu
The little girl who did the Hula-Hula
She was a beauty, she was a cutie
And “some” entrances, Oh! what a dancer
There wasn’t any room for much improvement
She had a meaning in each little movement
We said, “Aloha”, I had to go away
