Let's Talk Dirty In Hawaiian - John Prine

Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket

For the land of the tall palm tree

Aloha Old Milwaukee, Hello Waikiki

I just stepped down from the airplane

When I heard her say

«Waka waka nuka licka, waka waka nuka licka

Would you like a lei?

Eh?»

Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian

Whisper in my ear

Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini

Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki

What the hecka mooka mooka dear

Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian

Say the words I long to hear

It’s a ukulele Honolulu sunset

Listen to the grass skirts sway

Drinking rum from a pineapple

Out on Honolulu Bay

The steel guitars all playing

While she’s talking with her hands

Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and wanta polka

Words I understand Hey!

Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian

Whisper in my ear

Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini

Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki

What the hecka mooka mooka dear

Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian

Say the words I long to hear

Well, I boughta lota junka with my moolah

And sent it to the folks back home

I never had the chance to dance the hula

Well, I guess I should have known

When you start talking to the sweet wahini

Walking in the pale moonlight

Ohka noka whatta setta knocka-rocka-sis-boom-boccas

Hope I said it right Oh!

Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian

Whisper in my ear

Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini

Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki

What the hecka mooka mooka dear

Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian

Say the words I long to hear

Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian

Say the words I long to hear

Aloha
