I want to learn to speak Hawaiian songteksten

Here am I in fair Hawaii
And oh how I would love to stay
I love your race
And I like the place
And I am proud to say:



I want to learn to speak Hawaiian
Then I can say the sweetest things to you
I want to learn to sing Hawaiian
So I can do the hula hula too



I've learned to say aloha nui oe
The sweetest little words I ever knew
And when I am a kamaaina
It's going to thrill me through and through



Honi kaua wikiwiki
They taught me on the beach at Waikiki
Welakahao (meaning whoopee)
I am learning them fast you can see



So after all, what does it matter
If I should stutter on a word or two
I want to learn to speak Hawaiian
'Cause I'm, pupule, simply crazy over you
