INTERNATIONAL HAWAII, by                    
First Line: Hawaiians in their hula skirts
Last Line: The land of music and the flower lei.
Subject(s): Hawaii; Race Awareness


Hawaiians in their hula skirts,
Chinese in their silken shirts,
Japanese in their kimonos gay,
Every other race in his own way,
Join our crowds in the melting pot
And add the fun to our happy lot.
What race or creed or color or God
With freedom walks our Hawaiian sod;
Aloha to those who come or go,
To strangers or to those we know;
This is the land of Hawaii Nei:
The land of music and the flower lei.
