OH MUKI MUKI OH

(Billy Hill, Peter DeRose)


Brian Lawrence & The Quaglino Quartet
V. Brian Lawrence
Recorded 24th July 1934

Also recorded by:

Al Shaw & His Hawaiian Beachcomners
Bing Crosby




Sweetheart, the waves are gently sighing
A love song for you and me
Sweetheart, there can be no denying
The call of the coral sea

Won’t you meet me tonight
while the sweet Hawaiian breezes blow
Oh muki muki oh,
which means I love you so

Won’t you give me your love
And whisper while the stars hang low
Oh muki muki oh,
Oh muki muki oh,

When you play your ukulele
You play on the strings of my heart
How can I feel gaily
When I hear you play “aloha” and I know that we must part


In your arms ‘neath the palms
We’ll sing the only song I know
Oh muki muki oh,
Which means I love you so.

(Long Musical Break)

When you play your ukulele
You play on the strings of my heart
How can I feel gaily
When I hear you play “aloha” and I know that we must part

In your arms ‘neath the palms
We’ll sing the only song I know
Oh muki muki oh,
Which means I love you so.
