I've got a girl who lives in Hilo
Next door to Hattie's shack
Say can she do the hula
You should see her from the back
Got another girl on Maui
Up on Haleakala
Just look at all the kanes
And they go ah-ha-ah! ah-ha-ah!
And then on Kauai
I've got a girl at Hanalei
She is so simple
She always lets me have her way
But of all the kuuipo
There's the girl on Molokai
Now she's the cockeyed daughter
Of the mayor of Kaunakakai
Now there's a girl on Kahoolawe
Who writes me pretty notes
About the big pohakus
And the family life of goats
There's another girl on Niihau
She went there long ago
Since then I've never seen her
She no come back, I no can go
And then on Lanai
I've got a girl among the pines
She drinks her juice straight
And never asks for beer or wines
But of all the kuuipo
There's the girl on Molokai
Now she's the cockeyed daughter
Of the mayor of Kaunakakai
