It's been my secret passion to try it.
To spend my Christmas surfing,
I want to spend my Christmas
on the Kona Coast in Hawaii.
For years I saved my pennies to plant it
The great pacific ocean, I span it
I want to spend Christmas
where I dig it the most, in Hawaii
It's Merry Christmas in Hawai 'i,
Pretty island girls greet you
We'll throw it back into the sea,
Suntan beauties are everywhere
If you're coming to the island,
You'll find the girl waiting for you
Kani and wahine and wahales too
Wish you mele, kili, kimaka to you
They're the friendliest people
And Dan the Hana will count
And watch them fall into the sea.
Winter in the southern surf
In the South Sea garden, paradise
where I dig it the most in Hawaii
I want to take you to the islands someday
