Lyrics
- Out where the golden sun is shining
Down on an island far away
Just to be there my heart is pining
And I’ll be back again some day
Down on the Ala Moana
Where I chanced to stray
Chorus
Beneath the palm trees swaying, where ukuleles play
I met a dusky maiden, she stole my heart away
Underneath the tropic skies
Oh how she wiggled and she rolled her eyes
In the land of Paradise, many miles away
My heart is ever yearning, to see her smile once more
And soon I’ll be returning, to fair Hawaii’s shore
Where the waves are rolling, to the strains of harmony
On the Ala Moana, where I long to be
- I’ve seen the sights of every city
I’ve been in every foreign clime
But there’s no place with girls so pretty
Song birds are singing all the time
Down on the Ala Moana
Life is just sublime
