Sing Me a Song of the Islands :
Theme song of 'Song of the Islands' a hot 1942 Betty Grable film that featured her in a grass skirt. Three copies of this
song exist on one wall of the Unit 1 Paste Rolling House. So much for Vera Lynn and Grace Fields !
(by Mack Gordon and Harry Owens. Second and third verse on the Rolling House wall. First verse found on the Internet.)

[Here am I enraptured]
[By the thrill of my Hawai'I]
[While I live I'll tell of you]
[The spell of you, Hawai'i.]
Sing me a song of the islands
Sing me a song of the islands
Where hearts are high when the moon is low.
Where rippling waters seem to say
Aloha wau ia `oe.
Bring me the fragrance of ginger
Strum your guitars while I dream away
Sing me a song of the islands
Aloha wau ia `oe.
