- With a sky of blue over my head
- And a sandy beach for my bed
- I find happiness that's all my own
- On an isle that I call home
-
- I don't like shoes upon my feet,
- To be at ease is such a treat
- And smile to ev'ryone I meet,
- That's the Hawaiian in me
-
- I love to sing and dance for you,
- And give a lei to cheer you thru
- And with that goes a kiss or two,
- That's the Hawaiian in me
-
- It's great to be in Hawaiʻi
- And be a native too
- But it's greater still to play around
- And carry on as I do
-
- So right out here in Hawaiʻi
- Where ev'rything is heavenly
- I'm just as happy as can be
- That's the Hawaiian in me
-
- I like to surf the native way
- And go out fishing ev'ry day
- I take my pleasures where I may
- That's the Hawaiian in me
|
- I wear a flower on my ear,
- It shows I'm looking 'round my dear
- So let's "aloha" while you're here
- That's the Hawaiian in me
-
- No pilikia, no hūhū
- That is my philosophy
- If the sun is bright and the trade winds blow
- The world is maikaʻi to me
-
- I have a ball in Hawaiʻi
- My paradise beside the sea
- So live it up and be carefree
- That's the Hawaiian in me
-
- I like laulaus and lotsa poi
- With good sashimi dipped in soy
- So suck 'em up with me, my boy
- That's the Hawaiian in me
-
- I wear a crazy lūʻau shirt
- And glance at ev'ry hula skirt
- It's natural for me to flirt
- That's the Hawaiian in me
-
- The tourists come from all the world
- And they say it's marvelous
- They're all trying hard to get a tan
- Just so they can look like us
-
- So I don't care how rich you are
- One million, maybe two or three
- I wouldn't change places, no siree
- That's the Hawaiian in me
