E Naughty Naughty Mai Nei - Mel Peterson

When you make with the hula
You are so happy and gay
You do a slow ʻamiʻami
E naughty naughty Mai Nei
ʻEā, ʻeā

Your smile is so full of mischief
Why do you tease me this way
You're driving my poor heart crazy
E naughty naughty Mai Nei
ʻEā, ʻeā

When you move so enticing
Your lovely eyes seem to say
"Aloha dear, how's about it"
E naughty naughty Mai Nei
ʻEā, ʻeā

Your hair is long and ripples
Like the moon on the bay
With every ʻami you beckon
E naughty naughty Mai Nei
ʻEā, ʻeā

You don't kiss 'cause you love me
Nor when you give me your lei
You're up to something I think so
E naughty naughty Mai Nei
ʻEā, ʻeā

Haʻina should be the ending
Of every song that they play
But with you it's beginning
E naughty naughty Mai Nei
ʻEā, ʻeā
