Along The Way to Waikiki
Lyrics by Gus Kahn

Far away
Far away
Where the balmy breezes blow
Where they sway
while they play
Ukuleles sweet and low
Where my heart is I am going
And I wish you were going too
If you stray
Down that way
I'll be there to welcome you

[refrain]
And if you like you can hike with me
Along the way to Waikiki
Where the palm trees swaying
Playing in the breeze
Harmonize with those Hawaiian melodies.
That's why I yearn to return once more
I want to stroll o'er the golden shore
Where the silv'ry stars
And the steel guitars
Stole a part of the heart of me
Along the way to Waikiki

If you go
Then I know
You will learn to love it too
Eyes aglow
Voices low
Singing love songs just for you
If the world looks blue and dreary
And you long for a place worth while
Let me know
Let me show
You that sunny sun kiss'd isle

[repeat refrain]
