Amateur Hula - Traditional

I like to do the hula
Just like the kama`âina
Doing the Hawaiian sway
But I’m an amateur, just an amateur
From Hilo Hawai`i

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 Hawai`i

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 Hawai`i

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 Hawai`i

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Doing the Hawaiian sway
But I’m an amateur, just an amateur
From Hilo Hawai`i
