C
Well, 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 licka, waka waka nuka licka

G                C
Would you like a lei? Hey!"

C
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

              G7
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka moka wa wahini
                        C
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut-a on my tiki
                           F
What the hecka mooka mooka dear

                      C   A

It's a ukulele 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 wanta polka

G            C
Words I understand, hey!

Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut-a on my tiki
                           F
What the hecka mooka mooka dear

                    C     A

Well, I bought a lotta junka with my moolah

                              G7
And sent it to the folks back home
I never had the chance to dance the hula
                            C
Well, I guess I should have known
When you start talking to the sweet wahini
                        F
Walking in the pale moonlight
Oka noka whatta setta knocka-rocka-sis-boom-bahccas
G              C
Hope I said it right, oh!
