Whether you're in L.A., sunny laid back L.A

Whether you're in New York, comfort 'round your block

Whether you're in the U.K., where the sky is dark

And the grass is kinda green, you know like Central Park

Still my favorite place in this whole wide world

Has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor

I see you poking out of the ocean, paradise on Earth

The 50th state, what? Hawaii

I wanna live in somewhere different

A nuclear distaster might be on our way

But I don't care, I'm in the U.S.A

Whether you're drunk or stoned or we're sober and old

If I'm with you, I'm a happy man

If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold

If your problem is you can't find your remote control

Still my favorite person in this whole wide world

Is the woman who can understand every word

And when she speaks to me, she makes me

See the whole world as my favorite place, Hawaii

We got it made, yes, I know

Can we go by plane or boat?

Whether you take it slow or you let me go

Whether you tell me something that I did not know

Whether you're neat and polite or you scream and fight

Whether you keep something from me that I wouldn't like

Still my favorite attitude in this world so far

Is the friendly spirit of an iron heart

Like the way folks are in this most special place

I don't care what happens, I'm taking a plane to

Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii

Hawaii, Hawaii, Kauai or Oahu

Molokai or Lanai, Maui and the big guy

Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, ooh, ooh

All I want to do is something different

Oh, let me in, cut off from Malaysia

Back in who knows when, oh, we got kinda lost

But my God, what a place, I profess

Airforce jets cannot take away my sou
