Let's Talk Dirty In Hawaiian

John Prine · Other Songs - John Prine

Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket

For the land of the tall palm tree.

Aloha, ole Milwaukee

Hello, Waikiki

I just stepped down from the airplane

When I heard her say,

"Wacka Wacka, nuka, licka

Wacka Wacka nuka licka

Would you like a lei?"



Chorus:

Hey, let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

Whisper in my ear

Icka puka maka waawaa heenee

Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki

What the hecka mooka mooka dear

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian

Say the words I long to hear



It's a ukulele Honolulu sunset

Listen to the grass skirts sway

Drinking rum from the pineapple

Out on Honolulu Bay

The steel guitars are playin'

While she's talking with her hands

Gimme gimme oaka doaka

Make a wish and wanna poka

Words I understand.



Chorus



Well, I bought a lotta junk-a with my moolah

And I sent it to the folks back home

I never had a chance to dance the hula

Well, I guess I should have known

When you start talkin'

To the sweet waheni

Walkin' in the pale moonlight

Oaka noaka what I said

Naaka waaka Sis-coom bakkas

Hope I said it right.



Chorus



(spoken "Aloha")
