HULA LOVE
(B. Knox - J. Bowen)
BUDDY KNOX (Roulette 4018, 1957)

On the Isle of Filalila out Hawaii way
A hula maiden gay, strolled by a moonlit bay
There come-a to court her over the water
From a savage Zing-azula Land
A Bolo chieftain grand, sang her this lay
And he sang

Hula, a-Hawaiian hula
Smile on your zing-gang-azula
Moon shine above on this sweet jungle love
For you, my bolo is swingin'
For you, my love song I'm singin'
Come be my hula hula love
(A-ya-a-ya-a-ya)

But the chieftain of the warriors
From the peaceful Filalila Land
Would not give him her hand
Her lover took his stand

Through the rattle of the battle
As she heard his sweet voice strong and true
They fled in his canoe over water blue
And he sang

Hula, a-Hawaiian hula
Smile on your zing-gang-azula
Moon shine above on this sweet jungle love
For you, my bolo is swingin'
For you, my love song I'm singin'
Come be my hula hula love
(A-ya-a-ya-a-ya)

Hula, Hawaiian hula
Smile on your zing-gang-azula
Moonshine above on this sweet jungle love
For you, my bolo is swingin'
For you, my love song I'm singin'
Come be my hula hula love
(A-ya-a-ya-a-ya)

Hula love
Hula love
Hula love
