Holiday In Waikiki

I won a competition in a little column in my local paper.

So i packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local paper.

I sailed to hawaii in the u.s.a.

I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki.



I didn't realize it was commercialized when i unpacked my cases,

Because a genuine hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas,

And even when i'm swimming i have to pay.

I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki.

Oh yeah, yeah.



Across the coral sands i saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty.

I asked her where she came from and she said to me,

"i come from new york city,

And my mother is italian,

And my dad's a greek."

I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki.



It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola[?],

And in a little shack they had a little sign that said coca cola,

And even all the grass skirts were pvc.

I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki.

Oh yeah, yeah.



In waikiki

In waikiki
