Chorus
On the Isle of Wicki Wacki Woo
Tricky chickees kitch-ee catch-ee you
When they talk Hawaiian I’m puzzled you see
But when they start dancing
They’re talking to me
They have summer all winter thru
Flirting is the finest thing they do
I’ve got a wife you bet
But can’t a guy forget
On the Isle of Wicki Wacki Woo
(extra chorus lines from Aileen Stanley’s 1923 78rpm record)
Chorus 2:
On the Isle of Wicki Wacki Woo
Little Hula Hula fool-a you.
The moonlight’s so mellow and yellow above.
Well, you know my nature, I’m chock full of love.
Strolling on the rolling golden sands,
I’ll be dizzy just from holding hands.
So Mother’s angel child will soon be running wild,
On the Isle of Wicki Wacki Woo.
Chorus 4:
—-(piano)
—-(piano)
We all know why sailors keep sailing the foam.
But when they reach Wicki they feel right at home.
Strolling on the rolling golden sands,
I’ll be dizzy just from holding hands.
The moon that shines each night is not the only sight,
On the Isle of Wicki Wacki Woo.
