Honolulu Girl - R. Alex Anderson


She always wears, a flower lei
She's Hawaiian all the way
It's her lovely hula hands
It's her `ami`ami
It's her style, Hawaiian style

Hui:
So you could say, I've been around
A lot of gorgeous girls I found
But they never can compare
With my lovely Honolulu girl (Honolulu girl)

When the moon shines bright in the tropic night
Ku`u ipo comes to me
She says, "I love you"
And I know it's true
In the moonlight by the sea
