Little Brown Gal - by Don McDiarmid, J. Noble & Lee Wood
It's not the islands fair that are calling to me It's not the balmy air nor the tropical sea It's a little brown gal in a little grass skirt In a little grass shack in Hawai`i It isn't Waikîkî or Kamehameha's pali Not the beach boys free with their ho`omalimali It's a little brown gal in a little grass skirt In a little grass shack in Hawai`i Chorus: Through that island wonderland She's broken all the kânes' hearts It's not hard to understand For that wahine is a gal of parts   I'll be leaving soon but the thrill I enjoy Is not the island moon nor the fish and the poi It's just a little brown gal in a little grass skirt In a little grass shack in Hawai`i
Composed in 1935, this was featured in the 1957 movie South Seas Adventure
