Down in Honolulu beside the sea
A naughty strain is haunting me
Just a dreamy hula that sweet refrain
Just makes me quiver shiver and shake
And then you do it again
Oh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh
That haunting hula glide
That creepy sneaky slide
They dance it night and day
To drive the blues away
Oh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh
If on a moonlight night
You get the hula notion
Just hold your feet down tight
And shiver like the ocean
Oh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh sh-sh-sh
A maiden fair to see
She lived at Waikiki
Just as the rippling tide
She does the hula glide
