Song by Wills, Bob & His Texas Playboys<br /><br>

There's a sunny little, funny little melody<br>

That was started by a native down in Waikiki<br>

He would gather a crowd down beside the sea<br>

And together they'd play his gay Hawaiin Chant<br>

<br>

Soon the other little natives started singin' it<br>

And the hula hula maidens starting swingin' it<br>

Like a tropical storm that's the way it hit<br>

Funny little gay Hawaiian chant<br>

<br>

Ow way tah <br>

Tualan<br>

Me big bad <br>

Fightin' man<br>

<br>

Tho it started on an island down Hawaii way<br>

It's as popular in Tennessee or Ioway<br>

If you wander into any cabaret<br>

You will hear this gay Hawaiian chant<br>

<br>

Ow way tah <br>

Tualan<br>

Me big bad <br>

Fightin' man<br>

<br>

<br>

Tahuwai la a tahuwai wai la<br>

Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la<br>

Pututui lu a ite toe la<br>

Hanu lipo ita paalai<br>

<br>

Tahuwai la a tahuwai wai la<br>

Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la<br>

Pututui lu a ite toe la<br>

Hanu lipo ita paalai<br>

<br>

Au we ta huala<br>

Au we ta huala<br>

<br>

Tahuwai la a tahuwai wai la<br>

Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la<br>

Pututui lu a ite toe la<br>

Hanu lipo ita paalai<br>

<br>

Tahuwai la a tahuwai wai la<br>

Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la<br>

Pututui lu a ite toe la<br>

Hanu lipo ita paalai<br>

<br>

Au we ta huala<br>

Au we ta huala<br>
