Chorus:

D7G   D7    G         D7G
I’m on my merry way
D7G   D7   G
I'm on a holiday,
  G                         D7
I mean I'm on my way to Honolulu
       
D7G   D7        G
The days just drift along
D7G   D7         G
The nights are filled with song,
                                 D7G G7
I hope that I'm not wrong in Honolulu

C
I bought a ukulele
G
I practice on it daily
C
Sounds wicky whacky waily
G            D7
My hula hula song

D7G D7        G
I know it's gonna be
D7G  D7    G
An awful blow to me
                             G7
Unless I find romance in Honolulu

C                  C#dim
I know just how it looks
G              E7
From the prettypicture books
   G                 D7           G    E7
Oh please don't disappoint me Honolulu

        A7   D7           G   D7GG6
My Hono lulu by the Coral sea
