Handsome Harry Gray
To Honolulu sailed one day
He was to come back right away
But when he saw the
Peaches on the beaches down at Waikiki
He wrote his friends across the sea
If you're sad and lonely
Here's the only place on earth to be.
Harry's family
Was just as worried as could be
His father sailed to Waikiki
He said I'm gonna get him
I'll not let him stay another day
Just then a hula passed his way
The moment that he saw her
He fell for her then they heard him say:
CHORUS:
When those sweet Hawaiian babies roll their eyes
Up to the skies
I'm here to bet you they'll get you
For they surely do know how to hypnotize
They've got a way about them
I just idolize
I've met senoritas and mam'selles from Paris and Madrid
But they never made me do the things those hula maidens did
If you see them once or twice
You'll think you're in paradise
When those sweet Hawaiian babies roll their eyes
Mahalo to Cindy P. for these lyrics
