Please help me find this song and artist. I would like to sing it for my grandmother's funeral. Grampa, grandma, my sis, and I used to sing this song in the car together.

Here are the lyrics I remember. They may be incorrect.

I get sick of the chance
that I missed for romance
when I think of Honolulu

Girl with big blue eyes
meets the southern skies
was doin the hula hoo-loo-loo

It was easy to see
she was flirting with me
and my heart was filled with hope

But what kind of a chance
has a guy for romance
through a rusty dusty periscope

Thanks in advance!
Jordan

I get sick at the chance
that I missed of romance
when I lived in Honolulu

Girl with big blue eyes
'neath the southern skies
was doing the hula lu lu lu

It was easy to see
she was flirting with me
and my heart was filled with hope

But what kind of a chance
has a guy with romance
through a rusty, dusty. periscope

Waddle do dawdle day
Waddle do dawdle day
Waddle do, waddle do, waddle do day

Waddle do dawdle day
Waddle do dawdle day
Waddle do, waddle do, waddle do day

That's how I remember it. Was looking for it tonight, too. Love you, brother.
