Holy Holly Holiday Hula (vocal)

from Winter Awhile - Cool Twists on Holiday Classics by Robert Hicks

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "Robert Hicks never ceases to thrill and amaze me.  He sings.  He swings.  He plays the piano like the best, most versatile jazz musicians in the music world.  And now he tackles the very special (and generally over worked) holiday--season genre with an originality and freshness unlike anything that has been heard before.  Old Christmas classics and new, exciting seasonal originals warm the soul and enhance the familiar with beauty and skill.  From horn choirs to big-band charts, expect one surprise after another, in an album that surpasses the season with a value that lasts all year long.  This is a triumph of wonder and joy."  REX REED

lyrics

I know that you’re distressed about the blizzards way out west
But you can leave them all behind - I’ve got some paradise in mind…

Holy Holly Holiday Hula
Doug Fir won’t grow in Hawai’i
We’ll decorate a canafistula
Illuminated by a Molokai moon

You won’t have to spend a lot of your moolah
To have a warm tropical celebration
Come on all the way from Missoula
For a Kamehameha feast tonight

We’ll partake of poi and all the roast pig you can eat
A shimmy up the palm tree is an acrobatic feat

We’ll do the Ho-Ho-Holy Holly Holiday Hula
Trade winds blowing aloha
Enjoy a nuzzle under the luna
Ho’omaha i kēia pō

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Kilokilo Christmas in Pacific island style
Plumeria and coconuts are certain to beguile

We’ll all have a lotta Hallelujah
You’ll wanna stay for a lifetime
And do the Holy Holly Holiday Hula
Forever dancing in the sun and in the sea

BREAK

Together doing Holy Holly Holiday Hula
Forever dancing in the sun and the sea
