Kinks - Holiday In Waikiki lyrics

I won a competition in a little column in my local paper. So i packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local paper. I sailed to hawaii in the u.s.a. I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. I didn't realize it was commercialized when i unpacked my cases, Because a genuine hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas, And even when i'm swimming i have to pay. I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. Oh yeah, yeah. Across the coral sands i saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty. I asked her where she came from and she said to me, "i come from new york city, And my mother is italian, And my dad's a greek." I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola[?], And in a little shack they had a little sign that said c**a cola, And even all the gra** skirts were pvc. I'm just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. Oh yeah, yeah. In waikiki In waikiki
