I won a competition in a little column in my local paper

       E                                                   F#m11 E

So I packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local baker

  A                       B

Sailing to Hawaii in the U.S.A.

  E (w/ RIFF 1)

I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki



I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my pieces

Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas

And even when I'm swimming I have to pay

I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki



    F#  RIFF 2   RIFF 1

Oh yeah, yeah



Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancing, looking pretty

I asked her where she came from and she said to me

"I come from New York City and my mother is Italian, and my dad's a Greek"

I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki



It's a ooga ooga on the shining briny on the way to Kona

And in a little shack they had a little sign that said-a Coca Cola

And even all the grass skirts were of P.V.C.

I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki



Oh yeah, yeah



In Waikiki

In Waikiki
