The Kinks - Holiday in waikiki - stereo version 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 Im 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 Im swimming I have to pay Im 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 dads a Greek Im just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki Its a hooka, hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola And in a little shack they had a little sign that said Coca Cola And even all the gra** skirts were PVC Im just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki, oh yeah, yeah In Waikiki, in Waikiki
