Hawaiian War Chant (Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai) - 1999 - Remastered
Tahuwai la a tahuwai wai la
Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la
Pututui lu a ite toe la
Hanu lipo ita paalai
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
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 together they'd play his gay Hawaiin 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 gay Hawaiian chant
Au we, ta to a land
Me big bad fighting man
Though it started on an island down Hawaii
It's as popular in Tennessee or Iowa-y
If you wander into any cabaret
You will hear this Hawaiian chant
Au we, ta to a land
Me big bad fighting man
Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la
Pututui lu a ite toe la
Hanu lipo ita paalai
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
There's a sunny little, funny little melody

Like a tropical storm, that's the way it hit
Funny little gay Hawaiian chant
Au we, ta to a land
Me big bad fighting man
Though it started on an island down Hawaii
It's as popular in Tennessee or Iowa-y
If you wander into any cabaret
You will hear this Hawaiian chant
Au we, ta to a land
Me big bad fighting man
