Lyrics

  1. Underneath the sad Hawaiian moon
    Where the sad Hawaiians love to spoon
    While the Ukalalies strum a tune
    Ev’ry evening you can see them doing

Chorus
That Hula Hula
Have you seen them do the Hula
In Honolula
The way they do?
I know if you knew
How to do the Hula Hula
You’d be in Honolula
Doing the Hula, too

  1. I can teach you how to do the dance
    Tell me, would you like to take a chance?
    Shake your hands, quietly advance
    In another minute you’ll be doing
