Lyrics Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian - John Prine

Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
For the land of the tall palm tree
Aloha, old Milwaukee, hello Waikiki
I just stepped down from the airplane
When I heard her say
"Waka waka nuka licka, waka waka nuka licka
Would you like a lei?
Hey

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka, dear
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear

It's a ukulele Honolulu sunset
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from the pineapple
Out on Honolulu Bay
The steel guitars are playing
While she's talking with her hands
Gimme, gimme oka doka, make a wish and wanta polka
Words I understand, hey

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka, dear
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear

Well, I boughta lota junka with my moolah
And I sent it to the folks back home
I never had a chance to dance the hula
Well, I guess I should have known
When you start talking to the sweet wahini
Walking in the pale moonlight
Ohka noka whatta setta knocka-rocka-sis-boom-boccas
Hope I said it right, oh

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka, dear
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear
Aloha
