Melekalikimaka - The Beach Boys, Al Jardine

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)
