Beach of Waikiki| Donated by a friend of the page. |
|
| On the beach of Waikiki there lived a lovely maid, |
| Who cannot keep her body still when her favourite song is played. |
| If you sing the chorus in Hawaiian, they say she'll appear, |
| Not only will she dance but she'll give you her souvenir. |
|
| Chorus: |
| (Hawaiian words) |
|
| One day she bought a book so she could learn to waterski. |
| Then she spent a fortnight looking for a sloping sea. |
| But when she hulas in her long grass skirt the excitement never stops, |
| And all the farmers say they love the way that she rotates her crops. |
|
| Chorus |
|
| We lay upon the sand one day beneath a cloudless sky, |
| I bought her a crimson rose to match her bloodshot eyes. |
| "Oh let's get a little bolder, my shy young thing," I said. |
| She got a little boulder and dropped it on my head. |
|
| Chorus |
|
| She said, "You give me half a crown And I will read your palm." |
| Then she saw my love line went halfway up me arm. |
| So now she changed her prices, although she's just as willing |
| It's big fat men a two pound ten and little boys a shilling. |
|
| Chorus |
