Honolulu Christmas

A Honolulu Christmas is where I hope to be
On a beach with my girl drinking wine by the sea
On a blanket as the sun sets
And the waves roll in
The coconut trees to the hula they sway
Ya me and my girl I think we’d like it that way
Hey hey

A Honolulu Christmas is what we’d like to know
Where the rainbows substitute for deep cold snow
And in the morning you can hear the birds singing their songs
Right in the heart of December
The perfect gift to remember
Hey hey
Ooo ooo

A Honolulu Christmas is it everything it seems
Are we deceiving ourselves or are we living in a dream
Or are we living in New England
Where even April is cold
Well I’m not so sure if it’s true
So how about a ticket for two
Me and you

What would Santa Claus say
We could leave him a note to say we’ve gone away for
Just a little while. Hey you can even join us if you need a break
Like we do, we do. How about you, Santa too?
Like we do. Yes it’s true. How about a present just for you? And we sing
Ooo ooo

A Honolulu Christmas where the waters they shine
In turquoise colors. With our bottle wine
We’re just digging our feet into the sand
As the waves roll in
A fragrance in the air as the trade winds blow
We’re with ukulele Santa singing yippee yi yo
Ho ho. And he sings
Ooo ooo
