►LYRICS - Mele Kalikimaka
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
(Hawaiian Christmas Day)
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
(Palm trees sway)

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
(Oh so green and bright)
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
(Ahh-h-h)
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas
A very very Merry Merry Christmas to you
