C 
A little Na  tional Geograph
ical Ballad
G 
Gaug 
dedicated to our neighbors in the Pacific.

C 
G 
Traveler, traveler,
C 
do a favor for me.
G 
On the beach at Waikiki,
C 
G 
by the blue Hawaiian Sea,
C 
G 
by me, by me.
C 
Something simple and sweet,
D 
G 
something I will always love,
of something I've been dreaming of.
Bring me a lei from Hawaii.
C 
G 
I've wanted a lei for so long.
I can't get one here.
C 
They're entirely  too dear.
D 
But Hawaiians give leis
G 
for a song of lei to you.
Don't bring me a short lei
or one that's too portly.
C 
And thin leis, I don't like at all.
Dm 
G 
While you're gone, I will yearn.
But when you return,
I'll be expecting a lei when
C 
you call.
G 
Leis, ladies and gentlemen, ten cents a lei.
Give your girl a lei, mister,
I'll bet she'd love one.
Ten little pennies for
C 
one beautiful lei.
Take one home to mother,
G 
she's not had one in a long
time.
If she doesn't know what to do with it,
she can put it around her neck.
C 
Leis, ladies and gentlemen,
F 
leis for sale.
G 
Try this one over on your piano.
C 
A 
Some leis look lovely on a piano
G 
and some look better
on a couch.
C 
And I've known
a couple of peculiar people
G 
who liked leis on the floor
C 
and even a lei farmer fashion  in the hay.
G 
Hey, hey.
A 
Ah, the whole world loves
G 
a lei.
It's not a cultivated
C 
taste like olives.
It's natural.
G 
Why, I've known some girls
to get hysterical
at the mere sight of a good lei.
C 
And even an old stale lay
G 
has a bit of reminiscent charm.
Lays, ladies and gentlemen,
ten cents a lay.
Bring me a lay from Hawaii.
I've wanted a lay for so long.
I can't get one here.
C 
They're entirely too dear,
D 
G 
but Hawaiians give lays for a song.
C 
Quack, quack, quack.
G 
I  would like one more classy
than poor Mrs. Sassy,
C 
but I'm really not choosy at all.
F 
G 
While you're gone I will yearn,
C 
but when you return
G 
C 
I'll be expecting that lay when you call.
