Painting in Hawaii
It's quite difficult
But it's much more beautiful
Dalida said it to daddy
Than watercolor painting
Ah, aloha

Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
It's so beautiful
Nothing is more beautiful than a torchlight procession
Except maybe my cousin Berthe
Who got a perm
She is admirable, one could eat her
Just a little bit, a very little bit

It's an easy game
We say two verses in 'Hawaii'
And then we finish
Dalida said it to daddy
With a fine joke
With seltzer water

Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
It's so beautiful
Nothing is more beautiful than a torchlight procession
Except maybe my cousin Berthe
Who got a perm
She is admirable, one could eat her
Just a little bit, a very little bit

The cars in Hawaii
In the streets of the cities
It's less fun
Da li da la di a da do
Than pedal boats on the water
Ah! Aloha

Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
It's so beautiful
Nothing is more beautiful than a torchlight procession
Except maybe my cousin Berthe
Who got a perm
She is admirable, one could eat her
Just a little bit, a very little bit

Don't worry about it
It's quite useless
And it makes you morose
Da li da la di a da di
It's better to do something else
Aloha

Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
Ra pe ti pe ta pe ti pe ti pe to
It's so beautiful
Nothing is more beautiful than a torchlight procession
Except maybe my cousin Berthe
Who got a perm
She is admirable, one could eat her
Just a little bit, a very little bit
Just a little bit, a very little bit
Just a little bit, a very little bit
Just a little bit, a very little bit
In Hawaii
