Waterson, Berlin and Snyder Co.Strand Theatre Building Broadway at 47th Street New York |
First Verse Down Hawaii way, where I chanced to stray, On an evening I heard a Hula maiden play, Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du. Down Hawaii way, by the moonlit bay, When I lingered awhile, she stole my heart away, Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du. Oh, I don't care if you've loved the ladies far and near, You'd forget about them all if you could hear. Yaaka hula hickey du la, Yaaka hula hickey du. Second Verse Down Hawaii way, you would love to stay, On an evening I heard a Hula maiden play, Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du. Down Hawaii way, while the breakers play, WIth a movement just like the waves, those Hulas say, "Yaaka hula hickey dula, Yaaka hula hickey du." Oh, I don't care if you're never, never loved before, You'll be captivated on that coral shore. Yaaka hula hickey du la, Yaaka hula hickey du. Chorus I'm coming back to you, my Hula Lous, Beside the sea at Waikiki, You'll play for me. And once again you'll sway my heart your way, With your yaaka hula jickey du la tune.

My Bird Of Paradise (My Honolulu Girl)
Year 1915
By Irving Berlin
Waterson, Berlin and Snyder Co.Strand Theatre Building Broadway at 47th St. New York |
First Verse In Honolulu far away A maiden who could not be gay is feeling so much better since she received a letter. From her Hawaiian lover came a little tender note. She's so excited and so delighted for this is what he wrote. Second Verse In Honolulu by the sea A maiden's waiting patiently and as a ship goes past her Her little heart beats faster. He'll soon be landing at the pier She's waiting for the boat. He won't forget her for in his letter her sweet Hawaiian wrote. Chorus Wait for me, My Honolulu girl, My Hula hula girl I'm coming back to you That sunny sky land Hawaiian Island Will soon be my land I hear a ukalele strumming gaily. In my dreams You seem to say to me, Come back and play to me that melody Oh, so nice! So if you love me still my things I'll pack again Then I'll be coming back again to you, my bird of Paradise.

Hula Lou
Year 1916
Words by Edward GrossmithMusic by Ted D. Ward Bernard Granville Publishing Co. Inc. 154 West 45th St. New York |
First Verse I'm leaving town today I'm going far away To that land of "Heart's Desire" Fair Hawaii Do you wonder why I'm gay Where somebody waits for me. And where it's sunny as can be. I know I'll never leave again, never grieve again there beside the sea. Second Verse Just picture all those scenes those pretty tropic greens where most every one adores you nothing bores you Life is just a happy dream from the rising of the sun. Until the joyous day is done That's what the poets rave about Poets crave about Golden days each one. Chorus Hula Lou yes I'm coming right back to you, My Hula Lou with a heart that is fond and true Oh how I'm sighin' love for your undyin' love That sweet Hawaiian love has won my heart away Soon I'll be where that ukelele melody keeps ringing plaintively On the shores of the Lanai And when the stars are bright out in the pale moonlight we'll do the Hula, Hula, Hula Lou.

In Honolulu By The Sea
Year 1915
Words and Music by: Jack Frost
Frank K. Root and Co.Chicago, Illionois |
First Verse It's just the time the moon is shining down In Honolulu by the sea; It's just the time the ukeleles sound In Honolulu by the sea. Sleep, dream, my Honolulu lady, Tho' I'm far away from thee. Sweet breezes whisper love songs as of you, When last you said farewell to me. Second Verse The same old silv'ry moon is shining there In Honolulu by the sea; With same sweet songs the night birds fill the air In Honolulu by the sea. Sleep, dream, my ukelele lady, Won't you sing once more to me. The songs that used to drive away all care In Honolulu by the sea. Chorus Once again I seem to hear her softly singing, "Aloha oe, aloha oe." When thro' the pines the ukeleles ringing bring back the happy days that used to be. Honey Lou, my tears are falling As I seem to hear you softly calling me, "Aloha oe, aloha oe," In Honolulu by the sea. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |

First Verse Maryland, Maryland, you've made chicken famous every where. Maryland, Maryland, I'm not kickin' but I must declare, You've got other chicken too, Baby Dolls with eyes of blue, They're the sweetest kind Here's what I've got in mind. Second Verse Maryland, Maryland, It's no wonder they've got such blue eyes, Maryland, Maryland, they're raised under Heaven's bluest skies, Sunbeams find a resting place, In each Mary's smiling face, Every one's a prize I'm here to put you wise. Chorus There's a lot of blue eyed Mary's down in Maryland, I'll have you understand, there is no sweeter brand, If you want a blue eyed bride just take a ride to Maryland, They've got just what you need, yes, indeed, Every one comes guaranteed; If you want the "best what am," in a wedding gown, Be some "Mary's little lamb," follow her around; If you'll marry one you'll settle down in Fairyland, And raise a lot o' little Mary's down in Maryland.
