Lyrics
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau (X4)

Let's Have a Luau
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Let's Have a Ball
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Let's Have a Luau
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Invite One and All
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau

No Need to Dress Up
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Come as you Are
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
You'll Bring the Cola
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
I'll Bring my Guitar
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau

Girls Will All Hula
Boys Will All Sing
We'll Have a Luau
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Won't Miss a Thing
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau

You Don't Need to Live in the Islands
To Have a Lot of Fun
Just Pretend Your Patio's
An Island in the Sun

Let's Have a Luau
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Let's do it Right
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Have Lots of Music
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Hula all Night
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau

When Day Has Ended
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Night's Shadows Fall
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
We'll Have a Luau
Loop-de-loop Loop Luau
Really Have A

Loop-de-loop Loop Luau (X4)
