Holiday in Waikiki (Mono Mix)
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 thirty 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 the way to Kona
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
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 thirty 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 the way to Kona
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
