  • Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
    On a bright Hawaiian 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
    On a bright Hawaiian 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
    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
    On a bright Hawaiian 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
    A very Merry Christmas
    A very, very, Merry, Merry Christmas to you Writer/s: R. Alex Anderson
