VARIOUS VERSIONS
It seems as if every performer adds or changes verses to these songs. A few variations are below:
Papa works for the stevedore
Mama makes the leis
Sister goes with the Haole boy
Comes home any old time
Brother goes to the beach all day
To look at wahines in bikinis
He wears dark glasses and a coconut hat
You no can see where his eyeballs at
I want to marry this wahine I know
Her name is Haunani Ho
I told my papa and he said no
Haunani is your sister but your mama don't know
I told my mama what my papa had said
She said no hila hila
You can marry Haunani Ho
Your papa's not your papa but your papa don't know
