In Hawaii where the breeze is incense laden
There dwells a maiden so dear to me
And my thoughts are always of my darling Lulu
In Honolulu, beside the sea
There we rambled when the evening stars were gleaming
The moonlight beaming, so bright above
To the merry music of the ukulele
We sang so gaily sweet songs of love
You're the neatest, sweetest girl I ever knew, Lu
My lovely Lulu in Honolulu
You're the rarest, fairest flower that ever grew, Lu
In that sunny isle beyond the ocean blue
Do you think that I'll forget you, Oh, no, Lulu
I love but you, Lu, my heart is true, Lu
And I'm coming home to dear old Honolulu
To my own Aloha, Honolulu Lu
Mid those well remembered scenes in Honolulu
I spent with Lulu such happy hours
Where the sprightly hula hula girls were dancing
With grace entrancing, bedecked with flow'rs
Now I long to see that dear Hawaiian island
Her land and my land, so bright and fair
For altho' the wide Pacific rolls between us
My dusky Venus awaits me there
You're the neatest, sweetest girl I ever knew, Lu
My lovely Lulu in Honolulu
You're the rarest, fairest flower that ever grew, Lu
In that sunny isle beyond the ocean blue
Do you think that I'll forget you, Oh, no, Lulu
I love but you, Lu, my heart is true, Lu
And I'm coming home to dear old Honolulu
To my own Aloha, Honolulu Lu
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for the lyrics and sheet music image for this song.
