JingaBulaJingJing
JingaBulaJingJing
Plaintively he'd croon
to a Yaaka Hula maiden
'neath the Hicky Dula moon.
JingaBulaJingJing
JingaBulaJingJing
Morning, night and noon;
He was always serenadin'
with that Hicky Bula tune.
He set her loving heart a flame,
then tried to say goodbye
and just before the parting came
he heard her softly sigh;
JingaBulaJingJingJing
JingaBulaJing.

When you're away
I'll be wondering
how many more will hear you sing
that lovin'
JingaBulaJingJingJing.
Now don't forget
all you're promising
You say you're coming back
to Honolulu with your ring,
Maybe in the winter
maybe in the spring
to a Hula Hula,
That's a lot of bulla;
JingaBulaJingJingJing!

When you're away
I'll be wondering
how many more will hear you sing
that lovin'
JingaBulaJingJingJing.
Now don't forget
all you're promising
Oh! You can give away your diamonds
give away your pearls
give away your kisses
to the other girls
but you can start in praying
if I catch you playing
JingaBulaJingJingJing!

JingaBulaJingJing
JingaBulaJingJing
Tho' the clouds are grey,
you can hear a maiden singing,
To her sweetheart ev'ry day.
JingaBulaJingJing
JingaBulaJingJing
When the moonbeams play;
She hears wedding bells a ringing,
in a JingaBula way.
She sighs up to the skies above
each time his song is sung:
"I'm like his ukelele now
He left us both unstrung,"
JingaBulaJingJingJing
JingaBulaJing.

When you're away
I'll be wondering
how many more will hear you sing
that lovin'
JingaBulaJingJingJing.
Now don't forget
all you're promising
You're gonna keep away from dancers,
dressed in shredded wheat,
Hula Hula dancers
never move their feet;
I know what you're made of
that's why I'm afraid of
JingaBulaJingJingJing!

When you're away
I'll be wondering
how many more will hear you sing
that lovin'
JingaBulaJingJingJing.
Now don't forget
all you're promising
You say you're coming back
to Honolulu with your ring,
Maybe in the winter
maybe in the spring
to a Hula Hula,
That's a lot of bulla;
JingaBulaJingJingJing!
