I'm down in honolulu looking them over

[1st verse:]
You know my Uncle Jeremiah
Who disappeared a month ago
We got a letter from Hawaii
And I declare, my uncle's there
The atmosphere set him on fire
It simply went right to his head
What do you think he wrote
In his little note?
This is what he said

[Refrain:]
I'm down in Honolulu looking them over
I'm down in Honolulu living in clover
Try and guess the way they dress
No matter what you think it is, it's even less
Their language is hard to understand because it's so tricky
I've got them teaching me to say "wicky wicky"
I don't know what it means but it's the best that ever was
And if it means just what I think it does
I'll be in Honolulu looking them over for a long, long time

[2nd verse:]
My brother said "It's very nifty
Our Uncle's got the right idea"
Although my brother's very thrifty
He sent a wire to Jeremiah
He said "I'll go you fifty fifty
With ev'ry Hula girl you see"
My brother nearly died
Uncle just replied
Please don't bother me
