«Pineapple princess», he calls me pineapple princess all day

As he plays his ukulele on the hill above the bay

«Pineapple princess, I love you, you’re the sweetest girl I’ve

Seen»

«Some day we’re gonna marry and you’ll be my pineapple queen»

I saw a boy on Oahu isle

Floatin' down the bay on a crocodile

He waved at me and he swam ashore

And I knew he’d be mine forevermore

He sings his song from banana trees

He even sings to me on his water skis

We went skin-divin' and beneath the blue

He sang and played his ukulele, too

«Pineapple princess», I love you, you’re the sweetest girl I’ve

Seen

«Some day we’re gonna marry and you’ll be my pineapple queen»

We’ll settle down in a bamboo hut

And he will be my own little coconut

Then we’ll be beachcombin' royalty

On wicky-wicky wacky Waikiki
