THERE'S a SUNny little, FUNny little MELody

That was STARTed by a NATive down in WAIkiki

.......He would GATHer up a CROWD way down beSIDE the sea

And THEN they'd sing his old HaWAIian SONG

Ow WAY Ow PuTUI-la

Ow WAY Ow PuTUI-la

SOON the other little NAtives started SINGin' it

AND the hula hula MAIDens starting SWINGin' it

......LIKE a tropical STORM that's the WAY it hit

FUNny little OLD Hawaiian SONG

Ow WAY Ow PuTUI-la

Ow WAY Ow PuTUI-la

Tahu-WA-i-la a TA-hu-wa-i WA-i la

.....E-hu HE-ne la a PI-li KO-o LU-a-la

PU-tu-TU-i lu ....a IT-e TO-e la

HA-nu lipo I-to pa-a-LAI
