Lets Talk Dirty in Hawaiian by John Prine Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1984

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? Hey!"

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka moka 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 moka 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 bought a lotta 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
Oka noka whatta setta knocka-rocka-sis-boom-bahccas
Hope I said it right, oh!

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka moka 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
