Warren ZevonAbout
Typical Zevon–thematic, dark and brilliant
3rd track from Zevon’s 1982 album The Envoy.
The title is not coincidental. The musical style is reminiscent of tropical island music and the chorus features islander phrases.
The Hula Hula Boys Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw her leave the luau
With the one who parked the cars
And the fat one from the swimming pool
They were swayin' arm in arm
[Pre-Chorus]
I can 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
And she don't care about me
They're singing
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
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 singing
[Chorus]
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
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
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
