My Honolulu Tom Boy

Performed by Toots Paka's Hawaiians
Recorded 1911
Written by Albert Sonny Cunha

She is my dear little sweet little
Honolulu tomboy
She lives on fish and poi
Nui nui moe
Moe pehea `oe

She dresses fine most divine and
The malihinis say she's a beauty
O how she loves to dance
When in a trance
She'll take a chance

And when I take her along to the
Hotel annex for a canoe ride
Puts on her red mu`umu`u
A`ole huhu
Wela ka pûpû

And when I take her out
For an automobile ride in the moonlight
Sits on my lap all night
Holds on so tight
You bet she's right
