Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band


I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket 
For the land of the tall palm tree 
Aloha old Milwaukee, hello Waikiki 
I just stepped down from the airplane 
When I thought I heard her say 
Waka waka nuka nuka, waka waka nuka nuka 
Would you like a lei? Eh? 

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian 
Whisper in my ear 
Kicka pooka maka wah wahini 
Are the words I long to hear 
Lay your coca nuta on ma tiki 
What the hecka mooka mooka dear 
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian 
Say the words I long to hear 

It's a ukelele Honolulu sunset 
Listen to the grass skirts sway 
Drinking rum from a pineapple 
Out on Honolulu Bay 
The steel guitars all playing 
While she's talking with her hands 
Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and wanta polka 
Words I understand 

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian 
Whisper in my ear 
Kicka poo ka maka wa wah wahini 
Are the words I long to hear 
Lay your coca nuta on ma tiki 
What the hecka mooka mooka dear 
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian 
Say the words I long to hear 

I boughta lota junka with my moola 
And sent it to the folks back home 
I never had the chance to dance the hula 
I guess I should have known 
When you start talking to the sweet wahini 
Walking in the pale moonlight 
Oka doka what a setta knocka rocka sis boom bocas 
Hope I said it right 

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian 
Whisper in my ear 
Kicka pooka maka wah wahini 
Are the words I long to hear 
Lay your coca nuta on ma tiki 
What the hecka mooka mooka dear 
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian 
Say the words I long to hear
