Hilo, My Home Town - Betty Lou Yuen

Come along, join the throng Visit my Aloha Land Take a train, or a plane Travel any way you can See the smiling faces Of the many races You'll be smiling too You will want to linger Learn to do the hula Make some whoopie too Start the day, wear a lei And a colored mu`umu`u Hear the crowd sing aloud, "Aloha nui to you!" For there's no place on earth Where friends prove their worth More than Hilo, my home town Oh, there's no place on earth Where friends prove their worth More than Hilo, my home town!
