"Respectfully dedicated to Marta Golden"

'Honi kaua wikiwiki'
Sweet brown maiden said to me
As she gave me language lessons
On the beach at Waikiki

'Honi kaua wikiwiki'
She then said and smiled in glee
But she would not translate for me
On the beach at Waikiki

'Honi kaua wikiwiki'
She repeated playfully
Oh those lips were so inviting
On the beach at Waikiki

'Honi kaua wikiwiki'
She was surely teasing me
So I caught that maid and kissed her
On the beach at Waikiki

'Honi kaua wikiwiki
You have learned it perfectly
Don't forget what I have taught you'
On the beach at Waikiki
