I have seen Atlantic City on the old Atlantic coast
At Newport and at Palm Beach I have strayed
But my heart is always yearning for the place I love the most
The beach at Waikiki where I have played
I want to go 'way back to that dear old Honolulu where the tropic breezes blo-o-o-ow
I want to go back there to the land of everlasting summer free from ice and sno-o-o-ow
I want to be where I can always go in swimming on the beach at Waikiki-i-i-i
So take me back back back to my hula hula girlie who is waiting there for me
You can have your frozen winters where it goes to ten below
Your Broadway shows and all night cabaret
But whenever I am far from where the tropic breezes blow
I'm always blue and that is why I say
I want to go 'way back to that dear old Honolulu where the tropic breezes blo-o-o-ow
I want to go back there to the land of everlasting summer free from ice and sno-o-o-ow
I want to be where I can always go in swimming on the beach at Waikiki-i-i-i
So take me back back back to my hula hula girlie who is waiting there for me
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for these lyrics.
