Tommy Dorsey - Hawaian War Chant lyrics

There's a sunny little funny little melody That was started by a native down in Waikiki He would gather a crowd down beside the sea And they'd play his gay Hawaiian chant Soon the other little natives started singin' it And the hula hula maidens started swingin' it Like a tropical storm that's the way it hit Funny little gay Hawaiian Chant Ow way tah tualan Me big bad fightin' man Tho it started on an island down Hawaii way It's as popular in Tennessee or Ioway If you wander into any cabaret You will hear this gay Hawaiian Chant
