Show me how to do the hula
Like they do in Honolulu
When they dance the hula hula
To honi ka ua wiki wiki
First you sway and move your hands
Like the waves fall on the sands
And then you smile a pretty smile
To honi ka ua wiki wiki
Around the island you must go
You move so sweet and slow
And then you sway just like the trees
As they're caught in a tropic breeze
Now you've learned to do the hula
Like they do in Honolulu
Where they dance the hula hula
To honi ka ua wiki wiki
ALTERNATE LYRICS
Show me how to do the hula
Like they do in Honolulu
When they dance and dance again
To my honi ka ua wiki wiki
First you sway, then move your hands
Like the surf falls on the sands
When they smile a pretty smile
To my honi ka ua wiki wiki
Around the island you must go
You take it oh so sweet and slow
And then you sway to and fro
Just like the trees in a tropical breeze
Now you've learned to do the hula
Like they do in Honolulu
When they ami and ami home
To my honi ka ua wiki wiki
