My Honolulu
Tomboy -
Words & music by Albert Sonny Cunha
She is my dear little sweet little
Honolulu lu lu lu tomboy
She lives on fish and poi
Nui nui moe
Moe pehea oe
She dresses fine most divine and
The malihinis say she's a beauty
O how she loves to dance
When in a trance
She'll take a chance
And when I take her along to the
Hotel annex for a canoe ride
Puts on her red muumuu
Aole huhu
Wela ka pupu
And when I take her out
For an automobile ride in the moonlight
Sits on my lap all night
Holds on so tight
You bet she's right
