Far away in Honolulu
Where the natives do the tango
Most ev'ry evening
You can see them dance
To the funny music playing
You can see them all a-swaying
Should you ever take a notion
That you want to cross the ocean
Just take a steamboat
To Hawaii land
Travel into Honolulu
Where you see the Hula Hula
Just watch those maidens
And hear the ukulele band
REFRAIN:
In Honolulu where they used to dance the hula
In native costumes and pretty lays [sic]
With the ukuleles playing
They start a swinging and swaying
Far away in Honolulu
They've got the tango craze
