Click on my Soundcloud link above and enjoy the music of Andy Iona and his Islanders. This is from an old 78rpm, way, way back when recorded music was new and exciting. 

There's a long, classic Hawaiian instrumental intro before the old-school singing begins.

Ev'ry flower tells a story
In colors and perfume
But there's one that's filled with glory
Wherever it may bloom

Pretty red hibiscus
I'd admired you right from the start
Pretty red hibiscus
You're the flower of my heart

Ev'ry day you're fairer
Than the fairest flower that grows
Pretty red hibiscus
You're beautiful, everyone knows

Though you may not be scented
Like the other flowers are
But when the day has ended
You're as fair as an evening star

Pretty red hibiscus
I've admired you right from the start
Pretty red hibiscus
You're the flower of my heart
