Holiday in Waikiki

Lyrics for 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 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
