Years ago came Captain Cook
To the island for a look
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
History tells of big luau
Natives cooked him for kau kau
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
That is why we've always been so skittish
When they 'ear Hawaiians 'ate the British
But relax and rest assured
That our appetite is cured
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
If you're looking for romance
Go for broke and take a chance
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
Maime Stover's not in town
But there's lots of chicks around
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
If you're shy and romance makes you nervous
You should try a beachboy for the service
After all is said and done
You'll go broke but oh what fun
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
Eh, I'm that beachboy full of smoke
When I kiss I go for broke
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
Wahine tourist in my arm
Can't resist my manly charm
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
When I say, eh, aloha to my honey
I mean deah, come back and bring mo money
You're an angel heaven sent
I need you to pay my rent
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
When your girl wears a muumuu
And her shape is not in view-oo
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
She will whisper "No huhu"
It's a hideaway for two
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
Diamond Head is such a heavenly place
Every night we watch the submarines race
First we kiss and then caress
Only place where no means yes
Oh there's no place like Hawaii
