Lyrics
Beyond the reef there's a land far away…away from the trouble the sorrow the pain…
You know our love will never ever change…don't you know your own name…
Little girl won't you step right here…cause I'm a thinkin' about it…
I might just disappear from here…
And I wish I never had to leave my home…but you’re never alone…
Won't you be my swinging hula girl…
Would you be…won't you be…won't you be my hula girl…
Baby please…say a prayer for me…you know that love is true…
Won't you…say a prayer for me…you know that I will pray for you to be free…
And the wind blows…you're swaying like the palm tree…
But though they say that everything is wrong…well you got to hold on…
Don't sing the same old song and…
Won't you be my swinging hula girl…
Won't you be…won't you be…won't you be my hula girl…
Won't you be…could you be…with your beautiful lullabies…
Ou…ou…ou…ou…ou…
Wont' you be my swinging hula girl…
Just one more time around…
Just one more time around…
Won't you be my swinging hula girl…
Won't you be…won't you be…won’t you be my hula girl…
Would you be…could you be…with your beautiful lullabies…
Ou…ou…ou…ou…ou…
Would you be…won’t you be…
Won’t you be my hula girl…
Ou…ou…ou…ou…ou…
Won't you be…won’t you be…with your beautiful green eyes…
