Unlucky in love so I gotta take a trip across the sea to sunny Honolulu I thought I could forget her a while out on the Waikiki sand Every day it seemed to get a little worse cause everybody here all seem so happy And nothin's goin' the way that I hadn't planned Pretty Hula girls made me think of her as they danced the night away And the gentle sound of the soft guitars made me miss her more each day So there was nothin' to do but writin' my baby tell to come over to sunny Honolulu Ask her to forgive me for the bad things I had done Here I am a waitin' for the answer hopin' that my baby hasn't find another I hope we will be together here neath the Waikiki sun [ guitar ] Pretty Hula girls made me think of her... So there was nothin' to do but writin' my baby... I hope we will be together here neath the Waikiki sun
