I think of dreamy Hawaii
Each night before I retire
Once more in dreamy Hawaii
I'd like to pillow my head
I sent a message
And here's what I said
Waikiki, I hear you calling me
Oh, tell me, how are all the peaches
Down around the beaches, Waikiki
I love your atmosphere
And how I long to hear
Those good old ukuleles strumming
Hula maidens humming in my ear
So sweet and pretty
Oh, how I'm yearning
My thoughts are turning back to you
My heart's afire with one desire
Just to say, hello Hawaii
Can't you see, you stole the heart of me
No one could help but like a place like Waikiki
I know some day I'll be straying
Down where the palm trees are swaying
My heart will soon be obeying
Each call from over the sea
There's only one place where I want to be
Waikiki, I hear you calling me
Oh, tell me, how are all the peaches
Down around the beaches, Waikiki
I love your atmosphere
And how I long to hear
Those good old ukuleles strumming
Hula maidens humming in my ear
So sweet and pretty
Oh, how I'm yearning
My thoughts are turning back to you
My heart's afire with one desire
Just to say, hello Hawaii
Can't you see, you stole the heart of me
No one could help but like a place like Waikiki
