Mele Kalikimaka is the thing we 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 will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing we say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day

The sun will shine by day with all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing we say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas
A very merry Christmas
A very merry Christmas to you
