Way out in Honolulu

Just at the close of day

I heard a sailor sing

Unto a dusky maid

Just as his ship slowly sailed away

Don't sing aloha when I go

Because I'm coming back you know

Don't sing aloha tho' I cry

Our parting does not mean goodbye

I'll dream of you in Waikiki

That's where I'll always long to be

Just smile and say you'll miss me so

Don't sing aloha when I go

Way out in Honolulu

Once more the close of day

There sleeps a dusky maid

Beneath the palmtrees shade

And in her dreams she can hear him say

Don't sing aloha when I go

Because I'm coming back you know

Don't sing aloha tho' I cry

Our parting does not mean goodbye

I'll dream of you in Waikiki

That's where I'll always long to be

Just smile and say you'll miss me so

Don't sing aloha when I go
