Hawaia in Hawaii
John Anderson · Bigger Hands [2009]
Hawaia in Hawaii?
How's everythin' in Waikiki?
Or maybe down in Hilo
Girl I'd love to know 'cause you're not here with me
Or are you in Oahu?
Layin' around with who knows who
In your string bikini sippin' on martinis
Hawaia in Hawaii?
I guess you said aloha to yours truly
When you wrote your note there in the sand
You left me there as blue as any ocean
I stayed about as long as I could stand
Hawaia in Hawaii?
How's everythin' in Waikiki?
Or maybe down in Hilo
Girl I'd love to know 'cause you're not here with me
Or are you in Oahu?
Layin' around with who knows who
In your string bikini sippin' on martinis
Hawaia in Hawaii?
I can almost smell the luau on the beach
I can almost see the moon shine through the palm trees
Our vacation turned into a nightmare
Now I'm back here and you're still over there
Hawaia in Hawaii?
How's everythin' in Waikiki?
Or maybe down in Hilo
Girl I'd love to know 'cause you're not here with me
Or are you in Oahu?
Layin' around with who knows who
In your string bikini sippin' on martinis
Hawaia in Hawaii?
In your string bikini, sippin' on martinis
Hawaia in Hawaii?
How's everythin' in Waikiki?
Or maybe down in Hilo
Girl I'd love to know 'cause you're not here with me
Or are you in Oahu?
Layin' around with who knows who
In your string bikini sippin' on martinis
Hawaia in Hawaii?
I guess you said aloha to yours truly
When you wrote your note there in the sand
You left me there as blue as any ocean
I stayed about as long as I could stand
Hawaia in Hawaii?
How's everythin' in Waikiki?
Or maybe down in Hilo
