This is a cleaned up version of other's I have seen. Hope it's helpful. First Verse:

C
I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket

                              G7
For the land of the tall palm tree

                                C
Aloha Old Milwaukee, Hello Waikiki

I just stepped down from the airplane

                 F
When I heard her say

                     C
Waka waka nuka luka, waka waka nuka luka

G                  C   G7
Would you like a lei?  HEY!

Chorus:

C
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

              G7
Whisper in my ear

Kicka pooka maka wa wahine

                        C
Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki

                           F
What the hecka mooka mooka dear

                      C    A
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

        D       G       C
Say the words I long to hear.

F C D G C Second Verse:

C
It's a ukelele Honolulu sunset

                           G7
Listen to the grass skirts sway

Drinking rum from a pineapple

                C
Out on Honolulu Bay

The steel guitars all playing

                             F
While she's talking with her hands

                     C
Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and I wanna polka

G                C  G7
Words I understand,

Chorus:

C
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

              G7
Whisper in my ear

Kicka pooka maka wa wahine

                        C
Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki

                           F
What the hecka mooka mooka dear

                      C    A
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

        D       G       C
Say the words I long to hear.

F C D G C Third Verse:

C
I boughta lota junka with my moola

                              G7
And sent it to the folks back home

I never had the chance to dance the hula

                      C
I guess I should have known

When you start talking to the sweet wahine

                         F
Walking in the pale moon light

                      C
Oka doka what a setta knocka rocka sis boom bocas

G                  C  G7
Hope I said it right, HEY!

Chorus:

C
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

              G7
Whisper in my ear

Kicka pooka maka wa wahine

                        C
Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki

                           F
What the hecka mooka mooka dear

                      C    A
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
