I’m lonesome for the islands
I long to be there once more
Flowers everywhere music in the air

Honolulu, you’re on my mind
Take me back into your arms, Honolulu
Let the warmth of your sun soothe my heart
How I miss your rolling hills and your valleys
And the rainbows that follow the dawn

I seem to hear the Royal Hawaiian Band
Playing the sweetest melodies
And I long to hear “Aloha ʻOe” once more
When I come back to you Honolulu

Take me back into your warm Hawaiian arms
I seem to hear the Royal Hawaiian Band
Playing the sweetest melodies
And I long to hear “Aloha ʻOe” once more

Aloha ʻoe, Aloha ʻoe
Honolulu take me back into your arms
Honolulu take me back into your arms
