To Baby's annoying sister's annoying "Hawaiian" song:
I think this one is still unsolved.

What are the lyrics to that song, and was it written just for the film, or is some ancient Hawaiian song that Ms Brucker deliberatedly massacred.

. . . and you can whack 'em while you walk 'em, you can whack 'em while you walk awaaay. . . awaaaay. . . awaaaaay. . . awAAAAAy. . .
(or so it sounds)

This comes up on IMDB every once in a while, and no one there has ever come up with an answer. I've even posted this question before, but it remains a mystery.

Anyone???

The lyrics from the script apparently are
