"Hula Love" lyrics - BUDDY KNOX

["Hula Love" was based on a 1911 song titled "My Hula Hula Love" by Percy Wenrich and Edward Madden]

On the isle of Filalilla
Out Hawaii way
A hula maiden gay
Strolled by a moonlit bay
There come to court her over the water
From a savage Zingazulu land
A Bolo chieftain grand
Sang her this lay

And he sang
Hulu Hawai hula
Smile on your zing gang a zula
Moon shine above
On your sweet jungle love
For you my bolo is swinging
For you my love song I'm singing
Come be my Hula, Hula love
(Ya, ya, ya)

But the chieftain from the peaceful Filalilla land
Would not give him her hand
Her lover took his stand
Through the rattle of the battle
As she heard his sweet voice calm and true
They fled in his canoe over water blue

And he sang
Hulu Hawai hula
Smile on your zing gang a zula
Moon shine above
On your sweet jungle love
For you my bolo is swinging
For you my love song I'm singing
Come be my Hula Hula love
(Ya, ya, ya)

[Instrumental Interlude]

Hulu Hawai hula
Smile on your zing gang a zula
Moon shine above
On your sweet jungle love
For you my bolo is swinging
For you my love song I'm singing
Come be my Hula, Hula love
(Ya, ya, ya)

Hula love
Hula love
Hula love
