"Christmas in Hawai’i"

by Danny Couch, Teddy Randazzo and by Bill Dana

Lyrics Transcribed by Lea Cook

Christmas is the time of year, it snows most everywhere, But in the middle of the sea,

it’s Christmas in Hawai’i…

Well, it doesn’t take snow, for you to know It’s Christmas in Hawai’i.

Santa needs no sleigh to find his way, when it’s Christmas in Hawai’i

He won’t get lost, in the snow and frost. If you believe he’ll appear

Late at night, keeping out of sight. Spreading a little Mele Kalikimaka cheer

All the keiki know, that he’s gonna show. When it’s Christmas in Hawai’i

For it’s poi and rice, in this paradise each year…

For the smile on the faces, the joy in the air. The spirit of love, all around everywhere.

Everybody knows, there’s Aloha to share, When it’s Christmas in Hawai’i

Repeat- He won’t get lost in the snow and frost. If you believe he’ll appear.

Late at night, keeping out of sight, Spreading a little Mele Kalikimaka cheer

All the keiki know, that he’s gonna show. When it’s Christmas in Hawai’i

For it’s poi and rice, in this paradise each year.

For the smile on the faces, the joy in the air, The spirit of love, all around everywhere.

Everybody knows, there’s Aloha to share

When it’s Christmas in Hawai’i
