Lyrics:

I won a competition in a little column in my local paper. So I packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local paper. I sailed to Hawaii in the U.S.A. I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki. I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my cases, Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas, And even when I'm swimming I have to pay. I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki. Oh yeah, yeah. Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty. I asked her where she came from and she said to me, 'I come from New York City, And my mother is Italian, And my dad's a Greek.' I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki. It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola[?], And in a little shack they had a little sign that said Coca Cola, And even all the grass skirts were PVC. I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki. Oh yeah, yeah. In Waikiki In Waikiki
