Beside The Sea At Waikiki 1916

One, two, three, four,
five thousand miles away
the old Pacific kisses
fair Hawaiian shore.
One, two, three, four,
five thousand times a day
I long to kiss the one
I left behind, once more.
By the blue lagoon
when the night birds croon
she croons a tune for me.

Beside the sea at Waikiki
where tropic breezes blow
I want to be,
to spend my days
and end my days
on that Island across the seas.
For I'm always sighin'
I'm always cryin'
for that sweet Hawaiian
who waits for me
beside the sea at Waikiki
that is where I want to be.

Beside the sea at Waikiki
where tropic breezes blow
I want to be,
to spend my days
and end my days
on that Island across the seas.
For I'm always sighin'
I'm always cryin'
for that sweet Hawaiian
who waits for me
beside the sea at Waikiki
that is where I want to be.

One, two, three, four,
that is the tune she plays,
the melody that's always
ringing in my ear.
One, two, three, four,
that's how I count the days
until I see the maiden
that I hold so dear.
'Neath Hawaiian palms
while her dear voice charms
I'll hold her in my arms.

Beside the sea at Waikiki
where tropic breezes blow
I want to be,
to spend my days
and end my days
on that Island across the seas.
For I'm always sighin'
I'm always cryin'
for that sweet Hawaiian
who waits for me
beside the sea at Waikiki
that is where I want to be.

Beside the sea at Waikiki
where tropic breezes blow
I want to be,
to spend my days
and end my days
on that Island across the seas.
For I'm always sighin'
I'm always cryin'
for that sweet Hawaiian
who waits for me
beside the sea at Waikiki
that is where I want to be.
