Holiday In Waikiki

Lyrics

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.  
Sailing 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 30 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
