The Lyrics
music in hawaii's really swell
and the women there are oh so grand
on an island, far away, at sea
they love to swing, dance and wave their hands
and the drunken tourists all approve
of the hula dancer's groove
and some start to sway and flail away
as they imitate their moves
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
music's noisy, as the tourists swill
when they're drinkin', they don't know when to quit
and its hawaiian music, they hold dear
once you've traveled there, you can't forget
for there's denny, lyman, ol' don ho
and the king of all, sir uke
and with those dancers' bellies hangin' out
it the music that they choose
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
and the women there are oh so grand
on an island, far away, at sea
they love to swing, dance and wave their hands
and the drunken tourists all approve
of the hula dancer's groove
and some start to sway and flail away
as they imitate their moves
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
music's noisy, as the tourists swill
when they're drinkin', they don't know when to quit
and its hawaiian music, they hold dear
once you've traveled there, you can't forget
for there's denny, lyman, ol' don ho
and the king of all, sir uke
and with those dancers' bellies hangin' out
it the music that they choose
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
they start shakin' all over
they start shakin' all over, people
