May Day In Hawai`i

It's smarmy, but I learned this song waaaay back when I was just a little keiki in Pearl Harbor Elementary School.

"...May Day is Lei Day in Hawai`i

Garlands of flowers ev'rywhere,

All of the colors in the rainbow

Maidens with blossoms in their hair

Flowers that mean we should be happy,

Throwing aside a load of care,

Oh, May Day is Lei Day in Hawai`i

Lei Day is happy day out there."

~ Red Hawke, 1928

I just never realized it was such an old song!
