LET’S TALK DIRTY IN HAWAIIN
|
By John Prine and Fred Koller
|
|
Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
|
For the land of the tall palm tree.
|
Aloha, Old Milwaukee, Hello, Waikiki
|
I just stepped down from the airplane
|
When I heard her say,
|
"Wacka, wacka, nooka likka,
|
Wacka, wacka, nooka likka,
|
Would you like a lei?"
|
|
Chorus:
|
Hey!
|
Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiin,
|
Whisper in my ear.
|
Kicka pooka mok a wa wahine
|
Are the words I lont to hear.
|
Lay your coconuta on my tiki,
|
What the hecka, mooka, mooka, dear,
|
Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiin,
|
Say the words I long to hear.
|
It’s a ukelele, Honolulu sunset,
|
Listen to the grass skirts sway,
|
Drinkin’ rum from the pineapple
|
Out on Honolulu Bay.
|
The steel guitars are playing
|
While she’s talinkg with her hands,
|
"Gimme, gimme oka-doka make a wisha wanna polka,"
|
Words I understand.
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Well, I boughta lotta junka with my moola,
|
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 a sweet wahine,
|
Walkin’ in the pale moonlight
|
Ohka noka whatta setta knocka-rocka sis-boom-boccas."
|
Hope I said it right.
|
|
Chorus
