Warren Zevon - The Hula Hula Boys Lyrics

Song cracks me up heh

This remastered version is even better. God bless you Warren and thank you for the inspirational and sensational music you left behind!!

This is one of my favorite things to play and sing

It is excellent. From the soul.

Heard about this song from Hunter S. Thompson’s book The Curse of Lono

buddypowe you should listen to more of his songs

buddypowe I hard about hunter Thompson’s book the curse of lono from you ! Thank you

I saw her leave the luau
With the one who parked the cars
And the fat one from the swimming pool
They were swaying arm in arm
I could hear the ukuleles playing
Down by the sea
She's gone with the hula hula boys
She don't care about me
She's gone with the hula hula boys
She don't care about me
They're singing,

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Yesterday she went to see
The Polynesian band
But she came home with her hair all wet
And her clothes all filled with sand
I didn't have to come to Maui
To be treated like a jerk
How do you think I feel
When I see the bellboys smirk?
And I can hear the ukuleles playing
Down by the sea
She's gone with the hula hula boys
She don't care about me
They're signing,

Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

Only a completely tasteless, idiotic female would choose ANY other male over YOU, Warren. That's how I know this song isn't autobiographical. "Sing the chorus". Your brilliant, dry, wry wit is all over this wonderful song. My God of Music, my ONLY Deity..Eternal Legend. I know you're alive because Gods and Legends NEVER DIE....and you are BOTH!!

Boy, quite a fan of Zevon, huh?

I’m a big Zevon fan, but that was definitely a lot.

Brenda Harper Hey Kat, it has been a long time since we have communicated. Hope you're having a bit of of trouble catching your ride.

@Timothy Stoutland Lol, what is this?
