Hand movements, hips sway.
The hula tells a story.
Temperatures rise.
Beware of grass skirt; shimmy.
Never take your eyes off hands.

.Kau no o ka ho`ohai
Ka `aka e hene nei
Ho`onapenape ana i ku`u mana`o
He aloha nou...
~
..Oh, how you flirt
With tantalizing laughter
Stirring and swaying my thoughts
With love for you...
~*~

~Hula Lady~

O hula maiden
O hula girl
The men all love you
O hula girl

Telling stories with her hands
Of rain and wind and flowers
Tales of long forgotten lands
Of lost and lonely lovers

Dance, dance,
Lady
Dance, dance
Your dance of love
Dance, dance,
Hula lady dance...

Gliding like the birds at sea
Her hips are waves of motion
Casting spells with every glance
She could hypnotize the ocean

Dance, dance,
Lady
Dance, dance
Your dance of love
Dance, dance,
Hula lady dance...
