Hawaiian War Chant - Mono - Tommy Dorsey And His Orchestra

There’s a sunny little funny little melody

That was started by a native down in Waikiki

He would gather a crowd down beside the sea

And they’d play his gay Hawaiian chant

Soon the other little natives started singin' it

And the hula hula maidens started swingin' it

Like a tropical storm that’s the way it hit

Funny little gay Hawaiian Chant

Ow way tah tualan Me big bad fightin' man

Tho it started on an island down Hawaii way

It’s as popular in Tennessee or Ioway

If you wander into any cabaret

You will hear this gay Hawaiian Chant
