Hula Hula Hussies' Song
Hula Hula Hussies' Song.
A weeping maiden wandered by the sighing sea.
The evening shadows round her gathered silently.
Above her head the palms were murm'ring plaintively.
To the stars she sang this mournful melody:
Chorus
The fighting men one day
Returned from far away.
They brought a captive home—
Over sea—over foam.
The chief commanded me,
"Pray cook him thoroughly."
And I, distracted maid,
Sadly obeyed!
I cooked him thoroughly!
Alas, he's gone from me!
I loved him tenderly.
Never more will he roam,
Far from friends, far from home—
Over sea—oer foam.
