[Verse 1: Mike Love & The Beach Boys]
It's been my secret passion to try it
In Captain Cook fashion, I can't deny it
I want to spend my winters on the Kona coast in Hawaii
For years I've saved my pennies and planned it
The great Pacific Ocean, we'll span it
I want to go surfing where I dig it the most, in Hawaii
[Chorus: Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, Mike Love & Al Jardine]
(Go to Hawaii, Hawaii)
Hawaiian islands beckon
And I'll be back here someday, I reckon
And pretty island girls greet you with a flower lei
You'll throw it back into the sea
Hoping you'll be coming back to Hawaii
[Verse 2: Mike Love]
Suntanned beauties are everywhere
Lovely island ladies with long dark hair
You're sure to find a honey waiting for you there in Hawaii
Kane and wahine and the haoles, too
Give a friendly aloha from this mecca to you
They're the friendliest people anywhere in Hawaii
[Chorus: Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, Mike Love & Al Jardine]
(Go to Hawaii, Hawaii)
Welcome to the island mecca
I'll learn to talk-a like a local, I betcha
And at Lahaina, we'll count the shooting stars
We'll watch them fall into the sea
And it will be just you and me in Hawaii
[Verse 3: Mike Love]
Winter in the sun and surf would sure be nice
In a south sea garden of paradise
I want to spend my summer on the Kona coast in Hawaii
[Outro: The Beach Boys]
Honolulu, Waikiki
Do you want to come along with me?
Waimea up to Hanalei
I'd love to take you to the islands today
