Oh yeah.
It's number one on the Swanky/Kiliki charts.

I do it in a low key because it's easier to sing after drinking every drink on the Hale Tiki menu.

So place your finger all the way across the neck on the second fret.
D6 (also Bm7)
and lets play...

THE HUKILAU SONG

D6..............................
Oh we're going to a Hukilau
........................B7..............A7
Huki huki huki huki huki hukilau
A9
Everybodeeeee loves a hukilau
A9.....................................A7+5
Where the laulau is the kaukau
..........D6...........
at the big luau

(here - the C7 is the second one up the frets - just rocking back and forth from C7 to B7)
C7.................B7
O we throw our nets
C7...............B7
out into the sea
E7......................
and all the ama-ama
E7.......................
come-a swimming to me
D6.....................B7..............
O we're going to a hukilau
....E7...............A7...............D
Huki huki huki huki huki lau

D6................................
What a wonderful day for fishing
D6....................A7
The Old Hawaiian way
A7..............................................
All our hukilau nets are swishing
............E7..................A7
down on ole la-ee-ay bay

(repeat chorus and keep playing through until fingers are red and raw - then throw the uke and shriek at spouse:" I'll never get this right" and go to bar and drink.)
