Lyrics:
HAPA HAOLE HULA BOOLA BLUES
~~12 bar blues in E~~
copyright 2009, David Olson

I woke up this mornin, I just had to cry,
I've never seen the humuhumunukunukuâpua`a go swimming by,
I've got the blues, those never seen the islands blues,
I've got those ol mahalohanaloha hapa haole hula boola blues!

If I ever get to Kona, hope they pass the poi my way,
If I ever get to Hilo, hope they treat me to a lei,
I've got the blues, those never seen a volcano blues,
I've got those ol mahalohanaloha hapa haole hula boola blues!

I've never seen a luau, never had a sweet leilani,
The kanes love wahines, but my wahines name is Connie,
I've got the blues, those get me to the hukilau blues,
I've got those ol mahalohanaloha hapa haole hula boola blues!

I long to taste the pupu, and strum an uku-lele,
Carve a ticky-tacky tiki, make a sacrifice to Pele,
I've got the blues, you know I mean da kine blues,
I've got those ol mahalohanaloha hapa haole hula boola blues!

See those hula babies wiggle, in a forest of bamboo,
I'll go native on Oahu, pitch some wiki-waki woo!
I've got the blues, those never had a little grass shack blues,
I've got those ol mahalohanaloha hapa haole hula boola blues!

I've got those ol mahalohanaloha hapa haole hula boola blues!
