Verse 1
F
I sailed upon a ship
C
far across the sea.
F
I took a little trip to sunny Waikiki.
Bb
The moment I arrived, I heard a lady say,
Gm
G
If this is Hawaii,
C
F
why don't I get a lay?
Gm
Then I politely said, Madam,
F
There's a custom here in sunny Waikiki,
Bb
It may be rather hard for you to conceive,
C
But you don't get a lay
F
G
F
until the day you leave.
A gleam was in her eye,
C
as coyly she replied,
F
I must admit that I enjoyed the ocean ride.
But I have planned this trip
Bb
since way last June,
C
F
And if you get it when you leave,
C
then I leave this afternoon.
F
C
Not wishing to see her spoil the maiden trip,
F
I said, please reconsider for a bit.
Bb
If I could be of service, 'am, to you
Gm
C
F
Let me tell you exactly what I'll do
C
F
I'll take you to dance
G
C
and to dine every night
I'll give you romance
F
sparkling wine every night
Bb
And to be sure that you don't shed a tear
C
I'll give you a lay every day
F
while you are here
C
F
She said, it sounds divine,
C
Gm
C
quiet alright with me.
Romance is sparkling wine,
F
belongs in my kiki.
It's nice of you to give
Bb
a lonely gal a break.
C
But a lay every day
F
is more than I can take.
C
F
A peach boy then began
C
walking up the dock.
He carried in his hand
F
a giant orchid lei.
The gal said, there's a guy,
Bb
a gal appreciates
C
I'll never find a lady like that
F
back in the States
Gm
C
So I took out a lei, I had it all the time
Gm
C
I heard the lady say,
F
I wish that it were mine
That's the longest lei,
Bb
for miles and miles around
C
Then she threw it around her neck,
F
C
but it still hung to the ground
F
And then when her hips
G
C
began to swing and sway
F
I knew I had to put the thing away
Bb
To give a gal a lay is simply grand
C
F
But nobody likes to drag it in the sand
C
F
G
C
I'd given her lay after lay for a week
F
And after a while I was too weak to speak
It wasn't the sunshine
Bb
that took all our strength
C
It was trying to make the lady properly
F
C
F
When fi nally I returned
C
back across the sea
My lady friend, I learned,
F
remained in Waikiki
I'm sure she got a leg
Bb
from each Hawaiian meal
C
But I came away,
Gm
C
F
and thereby hangs the tale
