On The Beach At Waikīkī

Honi kāua wikiwiki
Sweet brown maiden said to me
As she gave me language lessons
On the beach at Waikīkī

She then said and smiled in glee
But she would not translate for me
On the beach at Waikīkī

She repeated playfully
Oh those lips were so inviting
On the beach at Waikīkī

Honi kāua wikiwiki
She was surely teasing me
So I caught that maid and kissed her
On the beach at Waikīkī

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
You have learned it perfectly
Don't forget what I have taught you
On the beach at Waikīkī
