It's not the islands fair that are calling to me 
It's not the balmy air nor the tropical sea 
It's a little brown gal in a little grass skirt 
In a little grass shack in Hawaii 

It isn't Waikiki or Kamehameha's pali 
Not the beach boys free with their hoomalimali 
It's a little brown gal in a little grass skirt 
In a little grass shack in Hawaii 

Chorus: 
Through that island wonderland 
She's broken all the kanes' hearts 
It's not hard to understand 
For that wahine is a gal of parts 

I'll be leaving soon but the thrill I enjoy 
Is not the island moon nor the fish and the poi 
It's just a little brown gal in a little grass skirt 
In a little grass shack in Hawaii
