Our Family Vacation Drink, Member robinhood002

The drink is great and we thought that you might appreciate the lyrics to the song. Down Hawaiian Way where I chanced to stray She was strolling along the bay She stole my heart away. Yaka Hula Hickey Dula Yaka hula Hickey Du I'm coming back to you My hula lou Beside the Sea At Waikiki She waits for me And once again I'll sway My love your way With my Yaka Hula Hickey dula do This is an old old song that has been passed down in our family for four generations and not many people know of it anymore. Thank you for posting the drink because it is yet another way of reinforcing our family traditions.
