All the time
In the tropical clime
Where they do the hula hula dance
I fell in love
With a chocolate dove
While learning that funny funny dance
This poor little kid
Why, she never did
A bit of loving before
So I made up my mind--
That I struck a find
She's the only girl I'd dare adore
I love a pretty little Honolulu hula hula girl
She's the candy kid to wriggle, hula girl
She will surely make you giggle, hula girl
With her naughty little wiggle
Some day
I'm goin' to try to make
This hula hula girlie mine
This girlie mine
'Cause all the while I'm draming of her
My Honolulu hula girl
Out at the beach, with your dear little peach
Where the waves are rolling in so high
Holding her hand, while you sit on the sand
Promise you'll win her heart or die
You start in to tease, you give her a squeeze
Her heart is all in a whirl
If you get in a pinch, go to--it's a cinch
When spooning with a hula girl
I love a pretty little Honolulu hula hula girl
She's the candy kid to wriggle, hula girl
She will surely make you giggle, hula girl
With her naughty little wiggle
Some day
I'm goin' to try to make
This hula hula girlie mine
This girlie mine
'Cause all the while I'm dreaming of her
My Honolulu hula girl

MY HAPA-HAOLE HULA GIRL (sung by Poncie Ponce c. 1962)
Once upon a time, in a tropical clime
When they know the meaning of romance
I fell in love with a wahine
While learning her fascinating dance
This innocent gal, was like a pal
Didn't know about love before
So I made up my mind, that she was my kine
The kinda girl I'm looking for
Well-a well-a
I love a pretty little hapa-haole hula girl
With her oni-oni motions [hula girl]
It has the power of emotions
Got more movement than the oceans
Someday I'm gonna take this hapa-haole
Gal away, far away
Every day, she's drivin' me crazy
My hapa-haole hula girl
Out at Waikiki, by the shiverin' sea
Where the waves come rollin' in high
I held her hand, while we sat in the sand
And promised her the moon and the sky
The people stared at the love we shared
But our hearts were all in a whirl
For I knew at a glance, when she did her lovely dance
That she'd be my hapa-haole hula girl
Well-a well-a
I love a pretty little hapa-haole hula girl
With her oni-oni motions [hula girl]
It has the power of emotions
Got more movement than the oceans
Someday I'm gonna take this hapa-haole
Gal away, far away
Every day, she's drivin' me crazy
My hapa-haole hula girl
MY HAPA-HAOLE HULA GIRL
All the time, in the tropical clime
Where they do the hula hula dance
I fell in love, with a chocolate dove
While learning the hula hula dance
This poor little kid, why, she never did
A bit of loving before
So I made up my mind--struck up a find
She's the only girlie I adore
Well, well,
I love a little hapa-haole hula girl
She's kinda got the wiggle
And she can kinda make you giggle
With her naughty little wiggle
Someday I'm gonna make that hapa-haole hula
Girlie of mine, girlie of mine
While I'm dreamin' of her
My hapa-haole hula gal
MY HAPA-HAOLE HULA GIRL (Kahauanu Lake Trio)
All the time
In the tropical clime
Where they do the hula hula dance

While learning that hula hula dance
This little kid
She never did
A bit of loving before
So I made up my mind--
That I'd struck a find
She's the only girl I'd dare adore
I love a pretty little hapa-haole hula hula girl
She's the candy kid to wriggle, hula girl
She will surely make you giggle, hula girl
With her naughty little wiggle
Some day
I'm goin' to try to make
This hula hula girlie of mine
This girlie of mine
All of the time, I'm dreaming of her
My hapa-haole hula girl
I wonder where, my little hula girl has gone
She's no longer on the beach at Waikiki
I combed the beach and watched surf roll along
And I looked around as far as I could see
She flew to the east, and she flew to the west
But I'll get no rest
Until I get her back in my little grass shack
I wonder where, my little hula girl has gone
She's no longer on the beach at Waikiki
