[Intro]
Hula hoop, hula hoop
Anyone can play from three
To a hundred and ten
[Strofa 1]
From L. A. To New York
From Georgia to Duluth
Everyone is playing with
The hula hoop
Red ones and green ones
Yellow, white, and blue
Young and old, rich or poor
Are spinning them too
[Ritornello]
Hula hoop, hula hoop
Everyone is playing
With the hula hoop
Look at them spin
Trying to win
Anyone can play from three
To a hundred and ten
[Strofa 2]
Oh, what fun to see them rock
And to see them sway
Trying to keep the hula hoop
From slipping away
If they rock when
They should sway
It would fall to the ground
Then again, once again
Spin it round and round
[Ritornello]
Hula hoop, hula hoop
Everyone is playing
With the hula hoop
Look at them spin
Trying to win
Anyone can play from three
To a hundred and ten
[Strofa 3]
Moon and stars
Have hula hoops
Way up in the sky?
Sailing on by
Tots and teens
And in betweens
Grandma and Grandpa too
Family fun for everyone
Spinning the hoop
[Ritornello]
Hula hoop, hula hoop
Everyone is playing
With the hula hoop
Look at them spin
Trying to win
Anyone can play from three
To a hundred and ten
[Outro]
Hula hoop, Hula hoop
Hula hoop, Hula hoop
Hula hoop, Hula hoop
Hula hoop, Hula hoop
Hula hoop, Hula hoop
Hula hoop, Hula hoop
