CS: Various, Keep Your Eyes on the Hands, Waikiki WC-305

Whenever you're watching a hula girl dance
You gotta be careful, you're tempting romance
Don't keep your eyes on her hips
Her naughty hula hips
Keep your eyes on the hands

Remember she's telling a story to you
Her opu is swaying, but don't watch the view
Don't concentrate on the swing
It doesn't mean a thing
Keep your eyes on the hands

And when she goes around the island
Swinging hips so tantalizing
Just keep your eyes where they belong
[alternate version]
And when her grass skirt goes a-swishingBecause the hula has a feeling
Keep your head and don't go wishingThat will send your senses reeling
That you would like to mow the lawnIt makes a weak man strong


Your eyes are revealing
You're fooling no one
No use in concealing
You're having some fun

But if you're too young to date
Or over ninety-eight
Keep your eyes on the hands
They tell the story
Just keep your eyes on the hands
