Whether your Ain L.A.,
Sunny laid back L.A.,
Whether your in New York,
Comfort 'round your block,
Whether your Ein the U.K.,
Where the sky is dark,
And the grass is kinda green,
You know like central park,
Still my Dfavourite place in this whole wide world,
Has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor,
I see you Apokin' out the ocean paradise on earth,
The fiftieth state, what!? Hawaii.
Aoohhh
Eoohhh
I wanna dip into somethin Ddifferent,
oh oh oh,
a nuclear disaster might be on our way,
but AI don't care I'm in the USA,
Whether we're Adrunk or stoned or we're sober and old,
If I'm with you I'm a happy man,
If you feel Esafe and cold while you count your gold,
If your problem is you can't find your remote control,
Say, my Dfavourite person in this whole wide world,
Is a woman who could understand every word,
And when she Aspeaks to me she makes me see the world,
As my favorite place, Hawaii,
AWe got it made
ohhhEh
yes I know
Can we goD  
by plane or Aboat
ohhhhhhE  
AWhether you take it slow or you let me go,
Whether you tell me somethin that I did not know,
Whether your Eneat and polite or you scream and fight,
Whether you keep something from me that I would not like,
Still my Dfavourite attitude in this world so far,
Is the friendly spirit of an iron heart,
I like the Away folks are in this most special place,
I don't care what happens I'm taking a plane,
AHawaii Ha Aw Wa I E

Whether your in L.A.,

Sunny laid back L.A.,

Whether your in New York,

Comfort 'round your block,

Whether your in the U.K.,

Where the sky is dark,

And the grass is kinda green,

You know like central park,

Still my favourite place in this whole wide world,

Has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor,

I see you pokin' out the ocean paradise on earth,

The fiftieth state, what!? Hawaii.

oohhh

I wanna dip into somethin different,

oh oh oh,

a nuclear disaster might be on our way,

but I don't care I'm in the USA,

Whether we're drunk or stoned or we're sober and old,

If I'm with you I'm a happy man,

If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold,

If your problem is you can't find your remote control,

Say, my favourite person in this whole wide world,

Is a woman who could understand every word,

And when she speaks to me she makes me see the world,

As my favorite place, Hawaii,

We got it made

Whether you tell me somethin that I did not know,

Whether your neat and polite or you scream and fight,

Whether you keep something from me that I would not like,

Still my favourite attitude in this world so far,

Is the friendly spirit of an iron heart,

I like the way folks are in this most special place,

I don't care what happens I'm taking a plane,
