Hawaii, across the sea
I hear you acalling me
Oh how I long to be
On the beach at Waikiki
Your valleys I long to see
Your Palis so dear to me
Seem to be calling me
Back to dear old Waikiki
Beautiful isle, wonderful isle
My heart is longing to be
Where sweet guitars beneath the stars
Are playing aloha to me
Out where the moon is ashining
Just to be there I am pining
On that golden shore where the breakers roar
Forever
Drifting along, singing a song
Out on the waters so blue
Beneath the skiws, it's paradise
With you in my canoe
There's no time dear to lose
Nothing could make me refuse
So I'll sail away where the palm trees sway
I've got the Waikiki blues
Waikiki for just a sight
I'm lonesome for you tonight
Just one sight of your shore
Where the balmy breakers roar
Oh take me and let me be
Where mermaids are fair to see
Out on that wonderful beach
At dear old Waikiki
Beautiful isle, wonderful isle
My heart is longing to be
Where sweet guitars beneath the stars
Are playing aloha to me
Out where the moon is ashining
Just to be there I am pining
On that golden shore where the breakers roar
Forever
Drifting along, singing a song
Out on the waters so blue
Beneath the skiws, it's paradise
With you in my canoe
There's no time dear to lose
Nothing could make me refuse
So I'll sail away where the palm trees sway
I've got the Waikiki blues
