Blue Grass Skirt
Island Romance Lost: Blue Grass Skirt Tale
Lyrics
I learned to hula
I acquired the skill of hula dancing
In Honolu-la
In Honolulu, Hawaii
With a pretty native
With an attractive local woman
In the blue grass skirt
Wearing a distinctive blue grass skirt
But a rock'n'roller
However, a rock'n'roll enthusiast
Came along and stole her
Came into the scene and took her away
Yes, he stole my baby
Indeed, he took my beloved
In the blue grass skirt
While she was still in the blue grass skirt
Well, he taught her out to rock'n'roll
He instructed her in rock'n'roll dancing
And bought her things, so I've been told
And lavished her with gifts, as rumors suggest
And stole my baby
Resulting in the theft of my beloved
My hula baby
Referring to my lost hula dancing partner
Yes, he stole my baby
Confirming the theft of my beloved
In the blue grass skirt
Emphasizing she was still in the blue grass skirt
All throughout the island
Describing various Hawaiian islands
Hawaiian Island
Specifically, the Hawaiian Island
Where the palm trees grow
Where palm trees thrive
Where the tourists flirt
And tourists engage in flirtation
Where I found romancin'
Reflecting on a time of romance
Life was enchantin'
Life was captivating and magical
Till I lost my baby
Until I lost my beloved
In the blue grass skirt
Still in the blue grass skirt
Well, I know that I can never stay
Expressing the realization that I cannot remain
Where happy people laugh and play
Where joyful people enjoy laughter and play
Without my baby
Without my beloved
My hula baby
Referring to my missing hula dancing partner
'Cause I miss my baby
Expressing the longing for my beloved
In the blue grass skirt
Who was last seen in the blue grass skirt
Yeah, I learned to hula
Reiterating the learning of hula in Honolulu
In Honolu-la
Confirming the location of acquiring hula skills
With a pretty native
With the same attractive local woman
In the blue grass skirt
Wearing the memorable blue grass skirt
But a rock'n'roller
Yet, another rock'n'roll enthusiast interfered
Came along and stole her
And took away my beloved once more
Yes, he stole my baby
Reaffirming the theft of my beloved
In the blue grass skirt
Underscoring she was still in the blue grass skirt
