Hawaii

[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
