Way out in the island with the coconut tree With the pearly shells and the tropical breeze There's a hillbilly girl from Tennessee My hillbilly hula gal She's had enough of the hills and me So she's taken to the lessons in Waikiki I guess she's right where she wants to be My hillbilly hula gal She dances with wahini's in the islands now She's trying to do the hula but she don't know how She's got the poniola's in her own corral She feeds them grits and gravy at the old luau The Blue Grass hills and the Mountain Dew Wait till she leaves Honolulu She better come home like she's suppose to do My hillbilly hula gal Now she looks twice as good in a little grass skirt Than overalls and a tore up shirt But corn don't grow in lava dirt My hillbilly hula gal There's smiles on the faces if the island boys Cause her southern drawl gives a big enjoy She can't churn butter when she's dipping that poi My hillbilly hula gal Now she never used to give a hoot for coconuts or taro root She's a country gal living in the islands now She's trying to get the hula girl to show her how When she gets through with this fantasy Just come on back to Tennessee Back with me where she's suppose to be My hillbilly hula gal, my hillbilly hula gal
