I learned to hula
In Honolu-la
With a pretty native
In the blue grass skirt
But a rock'n'roller
Came along and stole her
Yes, he stole my baby
In the blue grass skirt

Well, he taught her out to rock'n'roll
And bought her things, so I've been told
And stole my baby
My hula baby
Yes, he stole my baby
In the blue grass skirt

All throughout the island
Hawaiian Island
Where the palm trees grow
Where the tourists flirt
Where I found romancin'
Life was enchantin'
Till I lost my baby
In the blue grass skirt

Well, I know that I can never stay
Where happy people laugh and play
Without my baby
My hula baby
'Cause I miss my baby
In the blue grass skirt

Yeah, I learned to hula
In Honolu-la
With a pretty native
In the blue grass skirt
But a rock'n'roller
Came along and stole her
Yes, he stole my baby
In the blue grass skirt
