Song

This is a cleaned up version of other's I have seen. Hope it's helpful.
First Verse:
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 luka, waka waka nuka luka
Would you like a lei? HEY!
Chorus:
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka maka wa wahine
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.
     
Second Verse:
It's a ukelele Honolulu sunset
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from a pineapple
Out on Honolulu Bay
The steel guitars all playing
While she's talking with her hands
Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and I wanna polka
Words I understand, 
Chorus:
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka maka wa wahine
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.
     
Third Verse:
I boughta lota junka with my moola
And sent it to the folks back home
I never had the chance to dance the hula
I guess I should have known
When you start talking to the sweet wahine
Walking in the pale moon light
Oka doka what a setta knocka rocka sis boom bocas
Hope I said it right, HEY!
Chorus:
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka maka wa wahine
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.
F G C …….Aloha
