ALOHA BARNEY Joy

In dance that is a peach,
And the cooks are stirring gently
On fire of cedar logs
Fricassee of poi and mango,
And a toothsome stew of dogs,
Then they tune the ukaleles,
And their voices ring out strong
In the saft Kanaka lingo
And they sing baseball song.
Chorus:
Aloha poi, Aloha Joy,
The Seals will get the rag.
Aloha once, Aloha twice,
He'll surely cop the flag.
A hula boola, it's getting cooler,
Aloha, Barney JOY.
When the game is stated Sundays
And the fans are on the job,
And the crabs begin their grabbing
And the umpire starts to rob;
When the smiling kid, Jack Gleason,
Tosses off the festive bull,
AS he scans the distant bleachers
And he sees that all are full,
Then the local fans get busy
And their voices ring our strong,
Till they make noise like riots
In that old Hawaiian song.
Chorus:
Aloha poi, Aloha Joy,
The Seals will get the rag.
Aloha once, Aloha twice,
He'll surely cop the flag.
A hula boola, it's getting cooler,
Aloha, Barney Joy.

What will become of JOY? This is
the problem of the hour. viii he be
found in one of the major leagues or
will he remain with the Seals next
year? According to the rules of or
ganized baseball, but one player can
be drafted from club a season. That
drafts will be put in for Joy in the
