You think we're diving for gold
We know we're diving for pearls

You think we're diving for pearls
We know we're diving for love

And when The Mothership
The Cunard Line
Comes cruising through the bay
We'll sing to
Nikki, Nikki Hoi
To guide us to Nikki Heaven

(The bone knife dialogue)

And when the sun comes up
On Molokai
The Lepers all come out
And cry to
Nikki, Nikki Hoi
To guide them to Nikki Heaven

(Everybody!) You think we're diving for gold
Wе know we're diving for pearls

You think wе're diving for pearls
We know we're diving for love
And when The Matson Ship
The Old Lurline
Comes sailing towards L.A
We'll pray to Nikki, Nikki Hoi
To guide us to Nikki Heaven

Nikki, Nikki Hoi
To guide us to Nikki Heaven
Nikki, Nikki Hoi
Who'll guide us to Nikki Heaven

Hoi Hoi
(Aloha Joe!)
