Every day I dream of Honolulu's tropic shore
Every day I seem to get Hawaiian blues
Near that shore there lives a hula maid whom I adore
That's why I've got Hawaiian blues
Down where the ukelele night and daily's playing
And where a hula maiden waits, I long to be
Just to be near the silver beach at Waikiki
Where I can hear my sweet Hawaiian croon to me
Her little song of love while stars above are shining
Until I go, I know I'll have Hawaiian blues
It just seems I hear the strumming of a sweet guitar
In my dreams I see a big Hawaiian moon
I can hear the rippling of the waters from afar
I long to hear my hula croon
Down where the ukelele night and daily's playing
And where a hula maiden waits, I long to be
Just to be near the silver beach at Waikiki
Where I can hear my sweet Hawaiian croon to me
Her little song of love while stars above are shining
Until I go, I know I'll have Hawaiian blues
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for the lyrics and sheet music image for this song.
