My Little Island Flower (Larry W. Jones 06/21/2005) (song#3801) She's my little island flower Polynesia's gift she is to me More lovely every passing hour A lass who smiles so sweetly Her velvet skin is oh, so tan Kissed by the tropic sun, it's plain She's my queen of island sand My sweet song of love's refrain Just a little island flower Cooled by the tropic breeze We'll spend another pleasant hour Beneath these tall palm trees There within a restful bower Listening to the whis'pring breeze I promised to my little island flower My love to her eternally For she's my little island flower A lovely island flower for me
A Song In My Heart For You (Larry W. Jones 06/21/2005) (song#3802) For every island tuberose that ever grew There flows a song in my heart for you For every bird of paradise that ever flew There lies a song in my heart for you And every time a full moon comes around Or an island tune with that special sound You can assume that this is true There's a song in my heart for you For every rainbow painted in the blue You'll know there's a song in my heart for you And every time a full moon comes around Or an island tune with that special sound You can assume that this is true There's a song in my heart for you For every rainbow painted in the blue You'll know there's a song in my heart for you There's always a song in my heart for you
I Flew To The Moon (Larry W. Jones 06/21/2005) (song#3803) Did you ever fly to the moon Say goodbye to reality too soon It happened to me last night Did you ever catch a moonbeam Or match your lips to a June dream It happened to me last night Yes, I met a wahine in the sand I forget if there was even an island band But I know that when I beheld all of her charms Something compelled me to hold her in my arms And that soon my heart flew to the moon Yes, I flew to the moon last night Yes, I met a wahine in the sand I forget if there was even an island band But I know that when I beheld all of her charms Something compelled me to hold her in my arms And that soon my heart flew to the moon Yes, I flew to the moon last night I flew to the moon last night
Say Aloha Every Day (Larry W. Jones 06/21/2005) (song#3804) When you fall in love To be sure that love will stay A simple cure I'm thinking of Just say Aloha every day One thing I know is pitiful Is to throw true love away Tell her that she's beautiful And say Aloha every day Of your love, don't make her guess of it That mistake would make a mess of it A rose in bloom needs tender care So, don't assume of the splendor there Just like an island in the stream Love is its anchor, come what may Let her know that she's your dream And say Aloha every day A rose in bloom needs tender care So, don't assume of the splendor there Just like an island in the stream Love is its anchor, come what may Let her know that she's your dream And say Aloha every day Just say Aloha every day
Jake Shimabukuro (Larry W. Jones 06/21/2005) (song#3805) Jake Shimabukuro Plays on the ukulele Over where tradewinds blow He can really play that thing Really make it sing Jake is a swingin' island hero Jake Shimabukuro Digs that tropical jive He makes the islands come alive He can play every note Every ukulele player ever wrote Give Jake Shimabukuro a big hi-five Jake jazzes up his ukulele He has fingers to control it All of his fans extol it And when he brings Bach and Handel in He can make it sound like a mandolin Jake Shimabukuro is an island fit When Jake's ukulele is on parade In Waikiki, it never is a fluke The music is a quick island serenade When Jake is picking on his favorite uke Jake Shimabukuro in an ukulele jam Is the best ukulele player what am Jake, Jake, Jake Shimabukuro Over where the tradewinds blow

An Old Sweet Island Song (Larry W.

Great Blue Whale (Larry W. Jones 10/21/2005) (song#3873) In eighteen hundred and forty nine In May on the fourteenth day Sails we hoisted for the northern clime And from old Maui we sailed away The lookout, he watched thru the win'try gale His spyglass fixed firm to his eye There blows a whale, a great blue whale A great blue whale was his cry The captain came then to the quarter deck So all of the mates could hear his call Lower the jibs and belaying pins check And lower the dories before the night fall The dories we lowered just as we were told And the harpoon thrower kept fast his view Soon each small dory full of sailormen bold Steered for the glory as the blue whale blew The harpoon struck deep in the whale's coat And then with it's tail it splintered our boat Four sailormen lost, thrown from the rail And for all the cost, could not catch the whale Well, the arctic is a cold, barren sea And the stars of winter do cold appear So, back to old Maui we all did agree And return to warmer climes we steer Now points our bow toward old Maui Toward warmer climes at last we sail Yes, the arctic is cold, a barren sea Where blows the great blue whale Where blows the great blue whale

Jones 12/12/2005) (song#3979) The rustling of palm trees Used to be my nightly lullaby On isles in southern seas When I was just a lad so high Now that I have up and grown I regret that I have up and gone So, cradle me on those southern isles Neath tropic skies with a million eyes Oh, sing me to sleep with that sleepy Lullaby of palm trees Let me dream a dream or two Under skies of a heavenly velvet hue Oh, sing me to sleep with that sleepy Lullaby of palm trees Life is breezing along Listen to the song on the breeze It won't be before long I'll hear it singing through palm trees That island melody crooning the shore Is familiar to me Because I've heard that lullaby before So, cradle me on those southern isles Neath tropic skies with a million eyes Oh, sing me to sleep with that sleepy Lullaby of palm trees Oh, sing me to sleep with that sleepy Lullaby of palm trees
Ua Here Vau Ia Oe (Larry W. Jones 12/12/2005) (song#3980) Like the pound, pound, pound of the island drums When twilight shadows are falling Like the tease, tease, tease of the tropic breeze As Tahitian islands are calling Like the show, show, show of the bright rainbow When the setting sun shines through That's the way something inside me says Ua here vau ia oe, I love you, you, you Every night and every day You are the only one The tropic moon tells the stars You're my only one under the sun Whether I'm with you or in Siam Darling, no matter where I am I dream of only you, you, you Every night and every day, I know it's so My heart longs for you no matter where I go In the wave's crashing boom In the quiet of my lonely room I dream of only you, you, you Like the pound, pound, pound of the island drums When twilight shadows are falling Like the tease, tease, tease of the tropic breeze As Tahitian islands are calling Like the show, show, show of the bright rainbow When the setting sun shines through That's the way something inside me says Ua here vau ia oe, I love you, you, you

Serenade On The Island (Larry W.
