It's been my secret passion to try it 
In Captain Cook fashion, I can't deny it 
I want to spend my winters 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 go surfin' where I dig it the most, in Hawaii 
 
(Go to Hawaii) 
Hawaiian islands beckon (Hawaii) 
And I'll be back here someday, I reckon 
And pretty island girls greet you with a flower lei 
You'll throw it back into the sea 
Hopin' you be comin' back to Hawaii 
 
Suntanned beauties are everywhere 
Lovely island ladies with long dark hair 
You're sure to find a honey waitin' for you there in Hawaii 
Kani and Wahini and Wahowalis, too 
Get a friendly aloha from this mecca to you 
They're the friendliest people anywhere in Hawaii 
 
(Go to Hawaii) 
Welcome to the island mecca.  (Hawaii) 
I'll learn to talk like a local, I betcha 
And at Lahaina look out for shooting stars 
We'll watch them fall into the sea 
And it will be just you and me in Hawaii 
 
Winter in the sun and surf would sure be nice 
In a south sea garden of paradise 
I wanna spend my summer on the Kona coast in Hawaii 
 
(Honolulu, Waikiki, do you wanna come along with me?) 
(Waimia up to Hanalai, love to take you to the islands today)
