「南の島のハメハメハ大王」の歌詞

みなみのしまの　だいおうは　そのなもいだいな　ハメハメハ
ロマンチックな　おうさまで　かぜのすべてが　かれのうた
ほしのすべてが　かれのゆめ
ハメハメハ　ハメハメハ　ハメハメハメハメハ

みなみのしまの　だいおうは　じょおうのなまえも　ハメハメハ
とてもやさしいおくさんで　あさひのあとで　おきてきて
ゆうひのまえに　ねてしまう
ハメハメハ　ハメハメハ　ハメハメハメハメハ

みなみのしまの　だいおうは　こどものなまえも　ハメハメハ
がっこうぎらいの　こどもらで　かぜがふいたら　ちこくして
あめがふったら　おやすみで
ハメハメハ　ハメハメハ　ハメハメハメハメハ

みなみのしまに　すむひとは　だれでもなまえが　ハメハメハ
おぼえやすいがややこしい　あうひと　あうひと　ハメハメハ
だれでも　だれでも　ハメハメハ
ハメハメハ　ハメハメハ　ハメハメハメハメハ
ハメハメハ　ハメハメハ　ハメハメハメハメハ
ハー　アー
