THERE'S A SUNNY LITTLE FUNNY LITTLE MELODY-

TAHHOO WAHEE LA A TAHHOO WAHEE WAHEE LA-

THAT WAS STARTED BY A NATIVE DOWN IN WAIKIKI

EH HOO HEN ALA A PILA KO ALU ALA

HE WOULD GATHER A CROWD DOWN BY THE SEA-

POO TOO TOO EE LUAH EE TAY TOH ALA-

AND THEY'D PLAY HIS GAY HAWAIIAN CHANT

HANO LEE PO EE TA PAH ALA HEE

SOON THE OTHER LITTLE NATIVES STARTED SINGING IT-

AND THE HULA HULA MAIDENS STARTED SWINGIN' IT

LIKE A TROPICAL STORM THAT'S THE WAY IT HIT-

FUNNY LITTLE GAY HAWAIIAN CHANT

OW WAY TAH TU-A-LAN ME BIG BAD FIGHTIN' MAN

THO' IT STARTED ON AN ISLAND DOWN HAWAII WAY-

IT'S AS POPULAR IN TENNESEE OR I-O-WAY

IF YOU WANDER INTO ANY CABERET-

YOU WILL HEAR THIS GAY HAWAIIAN CHANT (CHORUS X2)
