I Lost My Heart in Honolulu
Westward Ho!
I'm restless there to go
Where the warm Hawaiian breezes blow
Where dark eyes glow, oh! beautiful Island,
Waikiki!
Your beach beseeches me,
There is a reason I confess,
Come on, give a guess,
Some girl? Yes!
I lost my heart in Honolulu,
Where the moonbeams kiss the ocean
There's the shrine of my devotion,
One wondrous night, one wondrous maiden,
Down on the glist'ning coral strand
I just held her hand, understand,
Oh! midnight scene of tropic splendor,
Undreamed of dreams, love glances tender,
Had I a thousand hearts to lose,
I'd lose them all in Honolulu.
Westward Ho!
In quest of her I go
While the ukalale wails its tune
I'll honeymoon with my Kiluau.
Homeward Ho!
By way of old Frisco,
The ukalale laid aside,
Baby now her pride,
Hail! my bride!
I lost my heart in Honolulu,
Where the moonbeams kiss the ocean
There's the shrine of my devotion,
One wondrous night, one wondrous maiden,
Down on the glist'ning coral strand
I just held her hand, understand,
Oh! midnight scene of tropic splendor,
Undreamed of dreams, love glances tender,
Had I a thousand hearts to lose,
I'd lose them all in Honolulu.
