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?
