Oh, O'Brien
Has gone Hawaiian
Since he came to this island
Long ago
Now there's Mother Macree
And Danny Boy
Sittin' down to feast
On fish and poi
Under the palm trees
Little green shamrocks grow
Oh, O'Brien
Has gone Hawaiian
It's Kailua, not Killarney
Any more
When he's feelin' frisky
And out on the loose
'Stead of Irish whiskey
It's pineapple juice
And the river Shannon is the blue Pacific shore
Oh he dances 'round so gaily
Strumming on his uku-shelaleigh
And he watches a native colleen
As she dances the hula hula to the wearin' o' the green
Oh, O'Brien
Has gone Hawaiian
He's mighty proud
When it's St. Patrick's Day
'Stead of throwin' his shindig
The Irish way
He tosses a luau
And waves a lei
O'Brien has gone Hawaiian
