Lyrics
1. ‘Neath swaying palm tree
Warm, friendly sea breeze
Where you hear the mellow steel guitars
Moaning sweetly under tropic stars
Chorus:
Oh, Oh, Oh, those loving Hula Blues
Tell me, have you heard those loving Hula Blues
You can’t imagine what you’re feeling blue about you
You simply glide and take a slide
And you want to shout
You wriggle, you giggle, you wiggle to the Hula Blues
2. Fair land of flowers
And golden showers
Where the Hula girlies sing and sway
On their ukuleles hear them play
