Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawian 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 to 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

From the land where palm trees sway

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