Lyrics Mele Kalikimaka - The Monkees

Mele Kalikimaka

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
