South Sea Sadie Don McDiarmid (as recorded by Owana Salazar on "Hula Jazz") On a tropical isle far across the sea There in tropical style, 'neath the mango tree, Lives a little brown gal who is everybody's pal Life to her is just a breeze With a tropical flower in her long brown hair She's the girl of the hour on that island fair She wears her sarong and nott long She's the siren of the southern seas They call her Sadie, that little south seas lady They say that Sadie is the reason For the heavy tourist season In the isles so many miles across the sea. The boys rise early, to see that streamlined girlie They say she's the principal attraction When that girl goes into action Reservations for vacations reach capacity So if you're ever down in Hula Town And you run across that certain little lady With big brown eyes that tantalize You can bet your bottom coconut that little girl is no one but… Sadie, that little south seas lady The kanes take to drinking kava When she rolls her lavalava In the isles so many miles across the sea Sadie, that little south seas lady They say that Sadie is the reason For the heavy tourist season In the isles so many miles across the sea |
