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
