The Enterprise Blues Band

Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
For the land of the tall palm tree
Aloha Ol' Milwaukee, Hello Waikiki
Well, I just stepped down from the airoplane
When I heard her say,
"Waka waka nuka licka, waka waka nuka licka
Would you like a lei? Eh?"

Chorus
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka maka wa wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconuta on my tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear

It's a ukulele Honolulu sunset
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from a pineapple
Out on Honolulu Bay
With the steel guitars all playing
While she's talking with her hands
Gimme gimme oka doka, make me wish I wanta polka
Words I understand, Hey!

Repeat Chorus

Well, I boughta lota junka with my moolah
And I sent it to the folks back home
Well, I never got a chance to dance a hula
And I guess I should have known
When you're walking with the sweet wahini
Underneath the pale moonlight
Moka moka whatta setta knocka-rocka-sis-boom-boccas
Hope I said it right. Hey!

Repeat Chorus

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear
spoken: Aloha
