On The South Sea Isle Composer(s): Harry Von Tilzer
Down upon the south sea island Where I long to be, it's my land Oriental breezes fan the air, there On the beach of old Whi Woola You can see the hula hula Pretty maidens dancing everywhere, so fair In the night time, that's the right time All the world's in tune Oriental, sentimental, dusky lovers croon
Humm, humm, humm, humm Sweet melodies fill the air Strange harmonies you will hear most everywhere Just humm, humm, humm, humm You'll hear them singing while you're there Ukaleles strumming too They'll play so soft for you While dusky maidens will try hard to woo with Humm, humm, humm, humm It's worth your while, on the south sea isle
In this dreamy land of pleasure There are memories I treasure Moonlight strolls along the silv'ry sand, and Loving eyes that seem to haunt me Lips that used to laugh and taunt me List'ning to the oriental band, so grand Birds a-cooing, lovere wooing As they stroll along Tropic moonlight, dreamy spoonlight Just a world of song
Humm, humm, humm, humm Sweet melodies fill the air Strange harmonies you will hear most everywhere Just humm, humm, humm, humm You'll hear them singing while you're there Ukaleles strumming too They'll play so soft for you While dusky maidens will try hard to woo with Humm, humm, humm, humm It's worth your while, on the south sea isle
