LP:
Down on a south sea isle
Down where the latest style
Is just a string of beads and pleasant smile
They've got a dance that's new
And oh! what steps they do
The girlies wiggle and jiggle
And thrill you thru and thru
It's called Hawaiianola
It's full of jazz marola
And when the tom toms start in to play
Why, everybody shakes the blues away
They used to do the hula
In sunny Honolula
But, oh! just go look what they do now
Ha-wai-ian-ola. Wow!
Down in the jungle glade
Each little jungle maid
Sleeps all day long beneath the palm tree's shade
But when the moon is high
Up in the tropic sky
Then they came trippin' and skippin'
With mischief in their eye
It's called Hawaiianola
It's full of jazz marola
And when the tom toms start in to play
Why, everybody shakes the blues away
They used to do the hula
In sunny Honolula
But, oh! just go look what they do now
Ha-wai-ian-ola. Wow!
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for the lyrics and sheet music image for this song.
