- Hawaiian moon where tropical hula maidens
- Seem to dance and croon to a native tune
- I'm just a malihini haole boy
- And it thrills me through and through
-
-
- I love to dance like tropical hula maidens
- And to move and sway that funny way
- Cause I want to do what the natives do
- So I can be a kamaʻāina, too
-
-
- Aloha mai they all say to me
- E komo mai they're inviting me
- E inu i ka ʻōkolehao
- Malama pono ʻoe aha hana ehe hene
-
- I've learned to say mahina mālamalama
- And they taught me to do the hula ʻami hou
- So, Honolulu I can always say
- I'm a kamaʻāina to you now
