In Hawaiian countries, there was a battle over there, and this
Woman had a husband, and she loved her husband, which I
Guess all of them do. They should if they didn't. Anyhow
There was a battle, and she didn't know her husband was in
The battle, but anyhow, when she heard the racket in the battle
She swam the water to her husband. This will tell the story
It was silent on the island of Hawaii
Down Hawaii way
A hula maiden gay
Strolling by the moonlight bay
I came to court her over the water
From a savage zing-a-zoola land
Hey, for the chieftain's grand
Her song did play
Hula, Hawaii hula
Smile on your zing-a-zoola
Moonshine above
Sweet jungle dove
For you, my love's a-ringing
For you, my bula swinging
Come be my hula-hula love!

This tell the story
In the morning, without warning
When she heard his sweet voice strong and true
There rushed a savage crew
Up came her lover true
Hey, for the rattle of the battle
When she heard his sweet voice strong and true
She swam the water blue
To his cane row
Hula, Hawaii hula
Smile on your zing-a-zoola
Moonshine above
Sweet jungle dove
For you, my love's a-ringing
For you, my bula swinging
Come be my hula-hula love!
That's what you call Hawaiian. Hmm?
Yeah, we're out in Hawaiian country
