Just an orchid from Hawaiʻi
Bringing memories of you
And the moonlight shining bright
On Hilo Bay

Just an orchid from Hawaiʻi
That is calling to me
And I know will bring me back again
Some day

Chorus:
Down by the seashore
My love is waiting there
And she'll be wearing
An orchid in her hair

Just an orchid from Hawaiʻi
Bringing memories of you
Of my orchid girl
Who's waiting there for me
