Rock-a-Hula Baby
Elvis Presley · Blue Hawaii
Rock-a-hula, Rock-Rock-a-hula
Rock-a-hula, Rock-Rock-a-hula
Rock-a-hula, Rock-Rock-a-hula
Rock-a-hula, Rock-Rock-a-hula
Rock-a-hula, Rock
The way she moves her hips up to her finger tips
I feel i'm heaven bound
And when she starts to sway, i've gotta say
She really moves the grass around
Rock-a-hula baby
Rock-a-hula baby
Gotta hula-lu from Honolulu
That rock-a-hula baby of mine
Rock-a-hula, Rock-Rock-a-hula
Rock-a-hula, Rock
Although I love to kiss my little hula miss
I never get the chance
I wanna hold her tight, all through the night
But all she wants to do is dance
Rock-a-hula baby
Rock-a-hula baby
Gotta hula-lu from Honolulu
That rock-a-hula baby of mine
Rock-a-hula baby
Rock-a-hula baby
Gotta hula-lu from Honolulu
That rock-a-hula baby of mine
Ooh that rock
A-Hula baby
Of mine
Rock-a-Hula Baby
