I Lost My Heart In Honolulu
Lyrics by Will D. Cobb

Published 1916

Westward Ho!
I'm restless there to go
Where the warm Hawaiian breezes blow
Where dark eyes glow, oh,
beautiful Island, Waikiki!
Your beach beseeches me,
There is a reason I confess,
Come on, give a guess,
Some girl? Yes!

[chorus]
I lost my heart in Honolulu,
Where the moonbeams kiss the ocean
There's the shrine of my devotion,
One woundrous night, one woundrous maiden,
Down on the glistening coral strand
I just held her hand, understand,
Oh! midnight scene of tropic splendor,
Undreamed of dreams, love glances tender,
Had I a thousand hearts to lose,
I'd lose them all in Honolulu

Westward Ho!
In quest of her I go
While the ukalele wails its tune
I'll honeymoon with my Kiluau,
Homeward Ho!
By way of old Frisco,
The ukalele laid aside,
Baby now her pride,
Hail my bride!

[repeat chorus]
