Melekalikimaka

It's been my secret passion to try it To spend my Christmas surfin', I can't deny it I wanna spend my Christmas on the Kona Coast in Hawaii For years I saved my pennies and planned it The great Pacific Ocean, we'll span it I wanna spend Christmas where I dig it the most, in Hawaii Go to Hawaii Melekalikimaka is "Merry Christmas" in Hawaii talk-a And at Lahaina we'll count the shooting stars And it will be just you and me in Hawaii The suntanned beauties are everywhere If you're comin' to the islands then you might stare And find a girl waiting for you there in Hawaii Kani and Wahini and the haoles, too Wish a Melekalikimaka to you They're the friendliest people anywhere in Hawaii Go to Hawaii Melekalikimaka is how they say it in island talk-a The island flower fragrance in the air We'll write a card and underneath the mango trees We'll say, "Wish you were here with us in Hawaii" Winter in the sun and surf'd sure be nice In a south sea garden paradise I wanna spend Christmas where I dig it the most, in Hawaii Honolulu, Waikiki Do you wanna come along with me? Waimia up to Hanalai I'd love to take you to the islands today
