In 'Honolula'
Where they do the hula hula
They've got a drink that can't be beat
That will know you off your feet
When at a luau
Where you go to get some kaukau
There you'll see them pass away
And you'll hear them say: "Wow!"
Oh! I've got those sweet okolehao blues
Oh! Those blues I simply can't let lose
Though you may rave about your brandy whiskey gin or wine
But there's nothing in this world that tastes so doggone fine
As O-O-O-O sweet okolehao
After the luau you'll be feeling welakahao
And when you take a drink or two
The old blues will sure leave you
While ukes are playing hula girlies start swaying
Everybody gathers near
And this is what you hear "Wow!"
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Sweet okolehao
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I want it now
Though you may rave about your grape juice and your orangeade
But there's not a drink in this wide world that's finer made
As O-O-O-O sweet okolehao
