Shel Talmy - Holiday in Waikiki lyrics

[Verse 1] I won a competition in a little column in my local paper So I packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local paper Sailing to Hawaii in the U.S.A I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki [Verse 2] I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my cases Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas And even when I'm swimming I have to pay I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki Oh yeah, yeah [Verse 3] Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty I asked her where she came from and she said to me "I come from New York City And my mother is Italian And my dad's a Greek" I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki [Verse 4] It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on the way to Kona And in a little shack they had a little sign that said Coca Cola And even all the gra** skirts were PVC I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki Oh yeah, yeah In Waikiki In Waikiki
