Rose of Honolulu 1911

Out in Honolulu
where the palm trees grow,
Lives a sweet Hawaiian maid
that loves me so.
And when the moon
is softly shining,
We tell love's story all night long;
List'ning to the singing
of the surf's wild roar,
As it kissed the sands
upon the golden shore,
With my arms around her
I'd sit and dream,
While she sang Hawaiian songs.

She is the Rose of Honolulu,
She's my Hawaiian queen;
Talk about your Spanish maids or Zulus,
or girls from the Em'rald Isle of Green;
She is a flower fresh and blooming,
Plucked from the garden of love;
Aloa nui Aloa oe
She is the Rose of Honolulu.

She is the Rose of Honolulu,
She's my Hawaiian queen;
Talk about your Spanish maids or Zulus,
or girls from the Em'rald Isle of Green;
She is a flower fresh and blooming,
Plucked from the garden of love;
Aloa nui Aloa oe
She is the Rose of Honolulu.

I have heard the fellows rave
of girlies fair,
But there isn't one of them
with mine could pair;
She's the only flower in the garden,
She is the only one Queen Bee;
When I sip the honey from her lips divine,
Ev'ry thing seems Paradise
and all sunshine.
I feel sad and lonely
when she's not near,
She's the only one for me.

She is the Rose of Honolulu,
She's my Hawaiian queen;
Talk about your Spanish maids or Zulus,
or girls from the Em'rald Isle of Green;
She is a flower fresh and blooming,
Plucked from the garden of love;
Aloa nui Aloa oe
She is the Rose of Honolulu.

She is the Rose of Honolulu,
She's my Hawaiian queen;
Talk about your Spanish maids or Zulus,
or girls from the Em'rald Isle of Green;
She is a flower fresh and blooming,
Plucked from the garden of love;
Aloa nui Aloa oe
She is the Rose of Honolulu.
