You've been working so hard You need a vacation for the day So I built a little paradise in the back yard Where the breeze makes the cardboard palm trees sway
The neighbor girls with hula skirts a-flyin' And the punch is genuine Hawaiian
CHORUS: Come to Hawaii, come to Hawaii, Come to Hawaii with me
A wading pool is the clear blue ocean A sheet for the white Hawaiian sand Bring your swimming suit in case you get the notion We'll eat pineapple fresh from the can
And if you close your eyes and dream You'll be amazed at just how real it seems
CHORUS
We hear our Mama call over the ocean We know that it's time to come in She says "supper's ready now get your bodies in motion" And we know that our trip is at an end
But as we see the sun go down It casts a tropical hue over our little town
