Amateur Hula - Traditional


I like to do the hula
Just like the kamaʻāina
Doing the Hawaiian sway
But I’m an amateur, just an amateur
From Hilo Hawaiʻi

I like to be like Mae West
Come up and see me some time
On any holiday
But I’m an amateur, just an amateur
From Hilo Hawaiʻi
I like to be like Crosby
Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boom-boom
And break all the wahines hearts
But I’m an amateur, just an amateur
From Hilo Hawaiʻi

I like to wear a malo
And paddle my own canoe
Like Duke Kahanamoku does
But I’m an amateur, just an amateur
From Hilo Hawaiʻi

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Doing the Hawaiian sway
But I’m an amateur, just an amateur
From Hilo Hawaiʻi
