[Verse 1]
Whether you're in L.A., sunny laid back L.A
Whether you're in New York, comfort 'round your block
Whether you're in the U.K., where the sky is dark
And the grass is kinda green, you know like Central Park
Still my favorite place in this whole wide world
Has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor
I see you poking out the ocean, Paradise on Earth
The 50th state – WHAT?! Hawaii!
[Refrain]
Oooh, ooh, oooh
Ooh-oooh, ooh, oooh!
All I wanna leave here with is somewhere different, oh oh oh
A nuclear disaster, we'd be on our way
But I don't care, I'm in the U.S.A.
[Verse 2]
Whether we're drunk or stoned, or we're sober and old
If I'm with you, I'm a happy man
If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold
If your problem is you can't find your remote control
Still my favorite person in this whole wide world
Is the woman that can understand every word
And when she speaks to me, she makes me see the world
As my favorite place – Hawaii
We got it made – ooh, oh-oh-ohh
Yes, I know
Can we go
By plane or boat? Ooh, oh-oh-oh – yeah
[Verse 3]
Whether you take it slow, or you let me go
Whether you tell me something I did not know
Whether you're neat and polite, or you scream and fight
Whether you keep something from me that I would not like
Still my favorite attitude in this world so far
Is the friendly spirit of an iron heart
I like the way folks are in this most special place
I don't care what happens, I'm taking a plane
Hawaii, ha-wah-ee
I said, the Hawaii, ha-wah-ee
I said, oh Hawaii, oh ha-wah-ee
I said, oh Hawaii, oh ha-wah-ee
Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, and Lanai
Maui and the Big Island, A.K.A. Hawaii
Hawaii, ha-wah-ee
[Refrain]
Oooh, ooh, oooh
Ooh-oooh, ooh, oooh!
[Outro]
All I wanted to do is something different
Oh, let me in
Cut off from Malaysia back in who-knows-when
Oh, we got – kinda lost
But my God, what a place
I profess
Air Force jets
Cannot take
Away my soul
