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 we 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
