Hawaiians Weep Tonight

OK, everybody! Sing it with me!

We-e-e-e-EE-EE-e-e-e-we-oh-mum-a-weh
We-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-we....

What does
that saaay?

A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh
A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh
A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh
A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh

 

In the bakery, the mega bakery

Hawaiians weep tonight


In the bakery, the mega bakery

Hawaiians scream in fright.

 

A-weeee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... flip-flop dismaaaaay.


A-weee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... Those. Aren't. Okaaaaay.

 

Near the village, there's lava spillage

They may not last the night...


Near the village, the gummies pillage

Hawaiians flee their plight.

 

A-weeee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... beach disarraaaaaay.

 

A-weee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... throw that awaaaaay.

 

[wailing and instrumental solo]

 

Hush my darling, don't dare, my darling

That pineapple's not right...


Hush my darling, don't stare, my darling

HAWAIIANS WEEP TONIGHT.

HEP HEP!

(Is there a translator in the house?)

So yes, past Jen from 10 minutes ago, apparently we DO need an English Language Day.

 

After all, it's one thing to be able to write in English, but another thing entirely to understand it.

Le sigh.

Happy English Language day, ya filthy logophiles. May your many and varied intercourses be ever enlightening.

 

And thanks to Christy C., Ken, Alan & Jennifer, Libby S., Kate H., Lina E., & Leigh S. for going over the top.
