Down in Honolulu
Beside the sea
A naughty strain
Is haunting me

Just a dreamy hula
That sweet refrain
Just makes me quiver, shiver and shake
And then you do it again

That haunting hula glide
That creepy sneaky slide
They're dancing night and day
To drive their blues away

If on a moonlight night
You got that hula notion
Just hold your feet down tight
And quiver like that ocean

Anita fair to see
She lives in Waikiki
It's like that rippling tide
She does that hula glide

Down in Honolulu
Beside the sea
A naughty strain
Is haunting me

Just a dreamy hula
That sweet refrain
Just makes me quiver, shiver and shake
And then you do it again

That haunting hula glide
That creepy sneaky slide
They're dancing night and day
To drive their blues away

If on a moonlight night
You got that hula notion
Just hold your feet down tight
And quiver like that ocean

Anita fair to see
She lives in Waikiki
It's like that rippling tide
She does that hula glide

Down in Honolulu
Beside the sea
A naughty strain
Is haunting me

Just a dreamy hula
That sweet refrain
Just makes me quiver, shiver and shake
And then you do it again
