[1st verse:]
|
You know my Uncle Jeremiah
|
Who disappeared a month ago
|
We got a letter from Hawaii
|
And I declare, my uncle's there
|
The atmosphere set him on fire
|
It simply went right to his head
|
What do you think he wrote
|
In his little note?
|
This is what he said
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I'm down in Honolulu looking them over
|
I'm down in Honolulu living in clover
|
Try and guess the way they dress
|
No matter what you think it is, it's even less
|
Their language is hard to understand because it's so tricky
|
I've got them teaching me to say "wicky wicky"
|
I don't know what it means but it's the best that ever was
|
And if it means just what I think it does
|
I'll be in Honolulu looking them over for a long, long time
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
My brother said "It's very nifty
|
Our Uncle's got the right idea"
|
Although my brother's very thrifty
|
He sent a wire to Jeremiah
|
He said "I'll go you fifty fifty
|
With ev'ry Hula girl you see"
|
My brother nearly died
|
Uncle just replied
|
Please don't bother me
|
