Yesterdays
The shuttlecock's not got a feather
my balls have lost their tether
yo-yo and hula hoop have gone for a loop
chasing rainbow's become a boring chore
in any kind of weather
and me I fling and fly frisbees no more
as now there's come the day
when games and music I can't play
the fiddle has a broken bow
out of wind such

gorgeous hula girls
Gorgeous hula girls began throwing leis our way
The second we got off Plane Honolulu that day
We found these exquisite creatures every where
Dancing in celebration that we were there
Do you think they are all related? Asked my man
I could see he was truly an appreciative fan
A lei is a symbol offering friendship, love, a greeting
We saw

A Hula-Hula Skirt
Sarina bought a hula-hula skirt
Was so long it swept up the garden dirt
When she mowed the lawn
Her hula was shorn
Now poor Sarina is known as Flirt Girt.

The last hula hoop
Let me have the last look at you before you do the final “hula hoop.”
Let me have the final look at you before try on your new shoes. Some sizes just don't fit; you have got to hold on to the grit. Their sentiment is too high, and it has them whistling with their heads

Wuhan Hula
Sorry, no graceful way to say his....
Your friends and family under green grass lie.
Body filled with odious pride, the hand of death shall pass you by?
As self inflicted hideouts lie.
No adoring prince, family nor money can save you.
Not even your adoring pet can stop death in its tracks,
That Reaper wants your back,
He deals you the

Hula Hoops and Pedal Pushers
Hula hoops and pedal pushers
Baseball cards and Slinkies
Penny loafers and bobby sox
Pony tails and a dime jukebox
Where are all the fads today --
But for video games we play --
Electronic devices all the rage
Hi-tech gadgets, center stage

Yo-Yo's and Hula Hoops
Yo-yo's and hula hoops
We all ate our Campbell Soup
Down our stairs went Mr. Slinky
For dessert, Hostess Twinkies
Lucky guys rode ten-speed racers
Drank Seven-up with Kool-Aid Chasers
After school, the Mickey Mouse Club
With TV dinners for our grub
The '50's seem so innocent now
Can we get them back

Trump Had a Hula Hoop
Trump Had A Hulahoop
About Trump have heard the latest scope;
Had one heck of a time with a hula hoop;
Hard of hearing;
Twilight is nearing;
Long ties he languished did dip into soup.
