On the south shore of Oahu
where all the tourists can be found
is a place called Waikiki
a place to hang around.
A 2-mile stretch of white sand
and its calm turquoise blue ocean
fringed by towering high-rises
full of commotion.
Waikiki is a wondrous place
Always open to all
to any race or religion
winter, spring, summer, or fall.
To spend time with friends
or a special other
Waikiki is a special place
unlike no other.
A place full of memories
a place close to our heart
it can be treacherous or frightening
but we could never grow apart.
On the south shore of Oahu
where all the tourists can be found
is a place called Waikiki
a place to hang around.
