One, two, three, four, five thousand miles away
The old Pacific kisses fair Hawaii’s shore
One, two, three, four, five thousand times a day
I long to kiss the one I left behind, once more
By the blue lagoon when the night birds croon
She croons a tune for me
Beside the sea at Waikiki,
Where tropic breezes blow, I want to be
To spend my days and end my days
On that island across the sea
Oh, that island across the sea
For I’m always sighin’, I’m always cryin’
For that sweet Hawaiian who waits for me
Beside the sea at Waikiki
There is where I want to be. Be, be
One, two, three, four, that is the tune she plays
The melody that’s always ringing in my ear
One, two, three, four, that’s how I count the days
Until I see the maiden that I hold so dear
‘Neath Hawaiian palms, while her dear voice charms
I’ll hold her in my arms
Beside the sea at Waikiki,
Where tropic breezes blow, I want to be
To spend my days and end my days
On that island across the sea
Oh, that island across the sea
For I’m always sighin’, I’m always cryin’
For that sweet Hawaiian who waits for me
Beside the sea at Waikiki
There is where I want to be. Be, be
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for these lyrics.
