Hula Lou - Danny Kaye

You can talk all you want about women

Said a sailor known as Dan McCan

And if you really want to know about women

You’ve got to talk to a sailor man

Now I don’t know how many woman the sailor met

And I hope there isn’t that any he’ll regret

For if he’d only met me I’d a given him some trimmin'

I’m one gal he’d never forget

Well who are you?

Who am I?

I’m Hula Lou

I’m the gal that can’t be true

I do my nestin' in the evenin' breeze

'Neath the trees

You oughta see me shake my BVDs

I never knew

A man who wouldn’t hula dance or woo

And sail across the briny blue to who

The lady known as Hula Lou.

That’s me

Now you ask any sailor and he’ll tell you

That this lady is the greatest dancer he ever knew

There isn’t a ship in the Navy

That I haven’t got a friend in the crew

There’s not a cruiser on the waves

Without someone who is my devoted slave

And I don’t care how nasty I may be

I’m the one gal the sailors all crave

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

You don’t believe me?

No!

Well you travel in and out

You travel in the south

You travel back and forth

You travel in the north

You see them shakin' east

You see them shakin' west

But boys I do my shakin' where the shakins' best

I gotta hula smile

Lots of hula hair

A little hula here

A little hula there

I’ve got the cutest eyes

Never mind what shade they are

But (lookin' at them the boys*) will never get very far

'Cause I’m Hula Lou

I’m the gal that can’t be true

I do my nestin' in the evenin' breeze

'Neath the trees

I got more sweeties than a dog has fleas

I never knew

A man who wouldn’t hula dance or woo

And sail across the briny blue to who

The lady known as Hula Lou.
