Stars are blinking, moon is winking
By the silver sea
Lovers there, just a pair
Slowly walking, softly talking
Hear her tender plea as she whispered low:
"Dearie, don't forget me when you get over there
France is full of girlies, and you must beware"
"So when you see a little, naughty, Frenchy maiden near you
Just to cheer you, dear,
Be sure to look away, because you know that I adore you,
Longing for you here,
In dear old Waikiki
There's little lonesome me
And I'll be lonely, very lonely,
Waiting for you only,
Aloha soldier boy"
Same old moon and stars are shining
By the silver strand,
On the shore, as of yore,
There's a soldier quickly walking
Down the moonlit sand, she is waiting there;
"Dearie," he is saying
"Greet me with a kiss,
I have not forgotten that you told me this:"
"So when you see a little, naughty, Frenchy maiden near you
Just to cheer you, dear,
Be sure to look away, because you know that I adore you,
Longing for you here,
In dear old Waikiki
There's little lonesome me
And I'll be lonely, very lonely,
Waiting for you only,
Aloha soldier boy"
