Hula Rock

Hank Snow · The Goldrush Is Over - Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight [2007]

(Dusty Rose - Betty Rose)



Hawaii's callin'

When I hear the rhythm of the hula rock, hula rock.



In the South Pacific where the trade winds blow

They thought that the hula was a little bit slow

So they stepped it up with a go go go

And that's where they got that rock and roll.



In the South Pacific now

They're gettin' with it on the beach at Waikaki

And it's a lula when they try

The hula with a rockin' rollin' beat.



Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Don't stop just let her rock.



--- Instrumental ---



Take me back where the trade winds blow

To the land of the hula where they never get old

And the gooney birds dance with a go go go

And the natives join in with a rock and roll.



With me it's a riddle how they break in the middle

And yet stay on the beat

But I wanna sway with 'em when I hear

The rhythm of the rockin' hula beat.



--- Instrumental ---



Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki

Don't stop just let her rock.



Hawaii's callin'...
