Lyrics[]
Garfield Ho[]
- Aloe Hawaii, (Aloe Hawaii...)
- Can I come over? (Can I come over?)
- I'm a haole from the mainland, (...haole from the mainland,)
- Lookin' for a new amore. (lookin' for a new amore.)
- (new amore...)
- As soon as I land, (As soon as I land,)
- In Honolulu, (In Honolulu,)
- I'll be looking for a luau, (...looking for a luau,)
- And a hula girl who I'll adore, (And a hula girl who I'll adore,)
- (I'll adore...)
- Mai Tai will be your tai,
- If you will be mi-hee-mi-hee-mine. (mi-hee-mi-hee-mine)
- And all our troubles,
- Like tiny bubbles,
- Will float away in a wiki-waki-wine (wiki-waki-wine.).
- Aloe Hawaii, (Aloe Hawaii...)
- Can I come over? (Can I come over?)
- I'm a haole from the mainland, (...haole from the mainland,)
- Lookin' for a new amore. (lookin' for a new amore.)
- (new amore...)
- Aloha.
