Swingtime in Honolulu by Duke Ellington Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1938

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
It's always swingtime in Honolulu
In Honolulu, it's always swingtime
Natives are humming
Guitars are strumming
It's always swingtime in Honolulu

[Bridge]
Oh, island that sings through the day
Oh, island where all lovers play
Oh, island that swings in this way
With a wicky-wacky-woo-wa-handa-loa-heeka-pua
Those beaches with sands snowy white
Those Natives that love, live and write
Those babies that live, love and write
Meets the yellow moon that's mellow like a cello

[Verse 2]
It's always swingtime in Honolulu
In Honolulu, it's always swingtime
A flat-feet floozy with flar flar
Flar-doy-hoy-doy-floy-doy
It's always swingtime in Honolulu
[Instrumental]
