Down Hawaii way, where I chanced to stray
On an evening I heard a Hula maiden play
Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du
Down Hawaii way, by the moonlit bay
When I lingered awhile, she stole my heart away
Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du
Oh, I don't care if you've loved the ladies far and near
You'd forget about them all if you could hear
Yaaka hula hickey du la, Yaaka hula hickey du
Down Hawaii way, you would love to stay
On an evening I heard a Hula maiden play
Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du
Down Hawaii way, while the breakers play
With a movement just like the waves, those Hulas say
"Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du."
Oh, I don't care if you're never, never loved before
You'll be captivated on that coral shore
Yaaka hula hickey du la, Yaaka hula hickey du
I'm coming back to you, my Hula Lous
Beside the sea at Waikiki, You'll play for me
And once again you'll sway my heart your way
With your yaaka hula jickey du la tune
