The Hula Hula Boys

Warren Zevon · Envoy [2007]

I saw her leave the luau

With the one who parked the cars

And the fat one from the swimming pool

They were swaying arm in arm



I could hear the ukuleles playing

Down by the sea

She's gone with the hula hula boys

She don't care about me



She's gone with the hula hula boys

She don't care about me

They're singing



Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

(Everybody sing the chorus together now or)

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

(Get to the point, cut to the chase)

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana



Yesterday she went to see the Polynesian band

But she came home with her hair all wet

And her clothes all filled with sand



I didn't have to come to Maui

To be treated like a jerk

How do you think I feel

When I see the bellboys smirk?



And I can hear the ukuleles playing

Down by the sea

She's gone with the hula hula boys

She don't care about me

They're signing



Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
