Melekalikimaka

It's been my secret passion

To try it

To spend my Christmas surfin'

I can't deny it

I wanna spend my Christmas

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 spend Christmas

Where I dig it the most in Hawaii

Go to Hawaii

Melekalikimaka is

"Merry Christmas"

In Hawaii talk-a

And at Lahaina we'll

Count the shooting stars

And it will be just you

And me in Hawaii

The suntanned beauties

Are everywhere

If you're comin' to

The islands then you might stare

And find a girl waiting

For you there in Hawaii

Kani and Wahini

And the haoles too

Wish a Melekalikimaka to you

They're the friendliest people

Anywhere in Hawaii

Go to Hawaii

Melekalikimaka is

How they say it

In island talk-a

The island flower

Fragrance in the air

We'll write a card and

Underneath the mango trees

We'll say "Wish you were here

With us in Hawaii"

Winter in the sun

And surf'd sure be nice

In a south sea garden paradise

I wanna spend Christmas

Where I dig it the most

In Hawaii

Honolulu Waikiki

Do you wanna

Come along with me

Waimia up to Hanalai

I'd love to take you

To the islands today
