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