Mele Kalikimaka - The Monkees

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say

On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day

That’s the island greeting that they send to you

From the land where palm trees sway

Here, they 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

I’m a lonesome traveller from so far away

And I won’t be home on Christmas day

But I’ve got some friends to help me celebrate

In the land where hula maidens sway

Here, where life is easy going, I have come

To mingle with the fishes in the Hawaiian sun

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, they 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 Hawaii’s way

To say «Merry Christmas»

Mele Kalikimaka

A very Merry Christmas to you
