Every evening I meet her
On the beach at Waikiki I greet her
Nothing sweeter nor neater
Than my mermaid of the southern seas
Chorus: Auwë ta hu-a
Should you see her in bathing
She would surely set you all a raving
Rubber necking heart breaking,
Pretty mermaid of the Southern seas.
Chorus
You should see her by moonlight
She’s the cutest little thing that’s living
Kisses giving high living,
Pretty mermaid of the Southern seas.
Chorus
Should you ever go riding
Don’t be foolish let her do the driving
Nothing doing just cooing,
Pretty mermaid of the Southern seas.
Mahalo to Kawena for getting these early Hapa Haole song lyrics from the Bishop Museum archive.
