Where Hawaiian Isles
Bask in natures smiles,
Where the tropic breeze;
Croons to the sleepy seas
where I left Luana fair,
I left my heart I declare,
there where skies are blue
with my little Honolulu Lu.

Oh, I've got the blues for Honolulu
Oh, I want to see my honey Lou;
She's coy
not a Honolulu tomboy
I'll never know joy,
'til I meet her again,
In Honolulu.
Oh, I want to go
where palms are swaying,
Oh, I hear the ukeleles say,
Come on back,
come on back,
Oh I've got the Honolulu blues.

Oh, I've got the blues for Honolulu
Oh, I want to see my honey Lou;
She's coy
not a Honolulu tomboy
I'll never know joy,
'til I meet her again,
In Honolulu.
Oh, I want to go
where palms are swaying,
Oh, I hear the ukeleles say,
Come on back,
come on back,
Oh I've got the Honolulu blues.

How the waving palms
seem like outstretched arms
calling me today,
Down Honolulu Way
Oh I just can't wait to go,
Time seems to pass mighty slow,
I'm blue all day thru,
For my little Honolulu Lu.

Oh, I've got the blues for Honolulu
Oh, I want to see my honey Lou;
She's coy
not a Honolulu tomboy
I'll never know joy,
'til I meet her again,
In Honolulu.
Oh, I want to go
where palms are swaying,
Oh, I hear the ukeleles say,
Come on back,
come on back,
Oh I've got the Honolulu blues.

Oh, I've got the blues for Honolulu
Oh, I want to see my honey Lou;
She's coy
not a Honolulu tomboy
I'll never know joy,
'til I meet her again,
In Honolulu.
Oh, I want to go
where palms are swaying,
Oh, I hear the ukeleles say,
Come on back,
come on back,
Oh I've got the Honolulu blues.
