Lyrics
- As I strolled along the beach
At Waikiki
I met a little hula maid
Who winked at me
Who winked at me
Her form was most divine
Face was fairy-like, too
She wore a happy smile
And a pink mumu
And a pink mumu
Chorus
She’s my little hula maid
And I love her true
Indeed I do, indeed I do
If she was yours
Now would not you?
But she’s all my own
In her pink mumu
In her pink mumu
- She can hula on the land
She can hula in the sea
She’s my little hula maid
And I’ll faithful be
And I’ll faithful be
When I smile at other girls
Then she gets huhu
She’s my little hula maid
In her pink mumu
In her pink mumu - When she looks into my eyes
Then my heart feels gay
So we take a joy ride
Till break of day
Till break of day
Her voice is like a birds
She can bill and coo
She’s my little hula maid
In her pink mumu
In her pink mumu
