Polynesian War Chant

There's a sunny little, funny little melody That was started by a native down in Waikiki He would gather a crowd down beside the sea And they'd do the Polynesian war chant

Soon the other little natives started singin' it And the hula hula maidens starting swingin' it Like a tropical storm that's the way it hit Funny little Polynesian war chant

Au we ta huala Au we ta huala

Tahuwai la a tahuwai wai la Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la Pututui lu a ite toe la Hanu lipo ita paalai

Au we ta huala Au we ta huala
