My Honolulu Queen
Words by James O'Dea
Music by William Penn
Published 1899

Where the billows gaily roar,
On the far off sunny shore,
Of a famous island where it's always summer,
A dainty girl of mine
Lives there in bliss sublime,
For natural grace and beauty she's a hummer;
And this I know for sure,
I've got her heart secure,
For she's my Queen of Honolulu,

[chorus]
For she's the belle of all the Honolulu ladies,
Just the sweetest ever was seen,
And although her face a dusky shade is,
she is my Honolulu Queen.
For she's the Queen.

'Bout a half a score or more
Volcanoes spout and roar,
In that fair land among the palm trees shady,
But none I've ever seen
Is warmer than my Queen,
For torridness the limit is this lady;
Now if my plans don't fail,
Soon o'er the seas I'll sail
To wed my Queen of Honolulu.

[repeat chorus]
