about

sung by Elma Mayer & Carmen Borgia

lyrics

He: My girl’s got a beautiful bathing suit on
She found it at the thrift shop
No prettier sight than to see her in it
‘Cept when she takes it off

It’s got a picture of the sky
And a picture of the sea
And a picture of the deep white sand
It’s a picture of I
And a picture of she
Far away from land

He & She: It’s got little tiny boats
Little tiny boats, uh-huh
On the ocean waves it floats
With little tiny boats

She’s wearing little tiny boats
Little tiny boats, uh-huh
The buoy bobs, the dinghy dotes
On little tiny boats

She: My guy pulls his wet suit over his head
And the sleeves get caught on his arms
I wonder if I should leave him that way
Stick ’em up, all night long

He & She: It’s a hello Hawaii-ya
Aloha hooey
Ukule in a hideaway cove
It’s a slice o’ papaya
Coconut tree
Jumbo umbrella drink grove

Hawaiian chorus: Lili huna helu mama malu moku poku poki
Huna huna aka aka una lili
Lili huna helu mama malu moku poku poki
Huna huna aka aki

He: I know how to shop
She: I know how to pack
He & She: We got ourselves a pretty good deal
We know how to stop
And never look back
Don't worry about our next meal

We've got little tiny boats
Little tiny boats, uh-huh
Isle resort with no remotes
For little tiny boats

We're wearing little tiny boats
Little tiny boats, uh-huh
In a bottle we send notes
From little tiny boats

We've got little tiny boats
Little tiny boats, uh-huh
Underneath our overcoats
It’s little tiny boats
