Malihini Mele

As I strolled along the shore
In a moon made of gold
While I played a tune on my sweet old kumele-ho
And I sang a pretty song
As she danced her sweet hula-ho
With a wink-winky smile and a nu-i-nu-i ho-lo-ho
Pretty soon by the light of the tropical moon
A malihini did appear
And he strolled hand-in-hand on the beautiful sand
With a lovely pinahou here
Then he crossed straight over ho
He seen a great big sand ho-ho
With a red kokua and a great big kuki-lo
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
As I strolled along the shore
In a moon made of gold
And I played a tune on my sweet old kumele-ho
As I strolled along the shore
In a moon made of gold
While I played a tune on my sweet old kumele-ho
And I sang a pretty song
As she danced her sweet hula-ho
With a wink-winky smile and a nu-i-nu-i ho-lo-ho
Pretty soon by the light of the tropical moon
A malihini did appear
And he strolled hand-in-hand on the beautiful sand
With a lovely pinahou here
Then he crossed straight over ho
He seen a great big sand ho-ho
With a red kokua and a great big kuki-lo
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
As I strolled along the shore
In a moon made of gold
And I played a tune on my sweet old kumele-ho
