| There’s a sunny little, funny little melody
|
| It was started by a native down in Waikiki
|
| He would gather a crowd down beside the sea
|
| And they’d play his gay Hawaiian Chant
|
| Soon the other little natives started singing it
|
| And the hula hula maidens starting swinging it
|
| Like a tropical storm, that’s the way it hit
|
| Funny little gay Hawaiian chant
|
| Au we ta huala
|
| Au we ta huala
|
| Though it started on an island down Hawaii way
|
| It’s as popular in Tennessee or Ioway
|
| If you wander into any cabaret
|
| You will hear this gay Hawaiian chant
|
| Au we ta huala
|
| Au we ta huala
|
| Au we atuala
|
| Au we atuala
