Somewhere in Hawaii, I'm sending a wire
To someone waiting there for me
She counts the hours
She simply carried my heart away
And I say in dreams ev'ry day:
Beautiful Hulu
Down in dreamy Honolulu
I am feeling so peculiar
Since I first met you
In a moonlit garden fair
Cupid, he is warden there
Just like the flowers you're true
Waiting and dreaming in a garden of roses
Sometime in the bright Hawaii sunshine
Dear, I'm going to make you all mine
And that is just why
Songbirds sing in tune to these words
When I come back some day
We'll fly away
Hawaiian Butterfly
She answered the wire I sent to Hawaii
To someone waiting there for me
And since she told me
I can see plainly
Soon I'll be telling you all goodbye
I must go, for I love her so:
Beautiful Hulu
Down in dreamy Honolulu
I am feeling so peculiar
Since I first met you
In a moonlit garden fair
Cupid, he is warden there
Just like the flowers you're true
Waiting and dreaming in a garden of roses
Sometime in the bright Hawaii sunshine
Dear, I'm going to make you all mine
And that is just why
Songbirds sing in tune to these words
When I come back some day
We'll fly away
Hawaiian Butterfly
