Out on the Western Seas
Kissed by the tropic breeze
There lies an island filled with song and flowers
Honolulu!
King Joy is ruler there
Nature the Queen so fair
And the days are just a chain of golden hours
I hear the Wanderlust say,
'Go there now, you must,'
So I'm on my merry merry way today
Aloha!
There 'neath the palm trees' shade
Or by a cool cascade
Your gaze may roam away to snow capped mountains
Honolulu!
Or when the day is done
Those string bands start to hum
And you sip your fill from all of pleasure's fountains
I want the fastest ship
To take me on that trip
When I get there friend I'm surely going to stay
Aloha!
CHORUS:
I want to be in Honolulu, Lou
Where the whole year through
Summer welcomes you
Where rose and mango bloom 'neath sky so blue
And nature seems to whisper, 'Honey dear, I love you'
There, Mister moon will throw his silv'ry rays
Over coral bays and strand
While the Hula Maids are singing
And the blue-bell's chimes are ringing
Way out in Honolulu, Lou
