Chorus:

I'm on my merry way,
I'm on a holiday;
I mean, I'm on my way to Honolulu.
The days just drift along,
The nights are filled with song,
I hope that I'm not wrong on Honolulu.
I bought a ukulele,
I practice on it daily.
Sounds wicky wacky waily,
My hula-hula song.
I know it's gonna be
An awful blow to me,
Unless I find romance in Honolulu.
I know just how it looks
From the pretty picture books,
So, please don't disappoint me, Honolulu,
My Honolulu, by the coral sea.
