Happy Hawaii

ABBA · Thank You for the Music [1994]

Early this morning

I drove in the rain

out to the airport

to get on the plane

hey Honolulu

I'm going to happy Hawaii

Alice has been there

she said it was fun

swimming and surfing

enjoying the sun

hey Honololu

I'm going to happy Hawaii



After all I had to go through

I'm making no plans

But I, but I believe love

gives me a second chance



Yes I've been working

a little too hard

need a vacation

I'll send you a card

from Honolulu

a greeting from happy Hawaii



It's so exciting

why should I pretend

in a few hours

the plane will descend

hey Honolulu

I'm going to happy Hawaii

I can imagine

the beach and the sand

walking with someone

and holding his hand

hey Honolulu

I'm going to happy Hawaii



After all I had to go through

I'm making no plans

but I, but I believe love

gives me a second chance



I've got a feeling

the dream will come true

somebody's waiting

and I forget you

hey Honolulu

I'm going to happy Hawaii
