Hawaiian Boy, Hawaiian Girl [Intro | Male lead | Immediate vocal | Gentle reggae groove] Hawaiian boy says, “Come on down” Hawaiian girl says, “Slow yourself down!” (Female: We got nowhere to be!) Just the ocean, the sunshine, and you and me! [Verse 1 | Warm male vocal | Bouncing bass] Sun comes up on a beautiful day Got no reason to rush away Slippahs by the door, bare feet in the sand Little piece of heaven in the palm of my hand Hawaiian girl with a flower in her hair Hawaiian boy ain’t got a worry or care Waves keep rolling, trade winds blow Everything’s moving but we’re taking it slow [Pre-Chorus | Female response | Gospel harmonies building] (Male: Can you feel that sunshine?) (Female: Oh, I feel it in my soul!) (Male: Can you hear that ocean?) (Choir: Let the good times roll!) [Chorus | Full gospel harmonies | Joyful island reggae] Hallelujah for the sunshine! Hallelujah for the sea! Little bit of aloha And a whole lot of family! Hawaiian boy, Hawaiian girl Living in a beautiful world Raise your hands, let your worries go Island time, let the good love flow! (Choir: Oh, let it flow!) (Female: Nice and slow!) [Verse 2 | Playful male and female duet] Spam musubi wrapped up tight Plate lunch waiting, yeah, we’re doing alright Two scoops rice and mac salad too (Female: Better save a little for me and you!) Cool shade waiting underneath a tree Little salty breeze coming off the sea Sand on the blanket, salt on my skin Another perfect wave comes rolling in (Male: You wanna catch that wave?) (Female: Maybe after we eat!) (Male: Well, that sounds good to me!) [Pre-Chorus | Organ and handclaps] Ain’t chasing money, ain’t chasing time Just a little sunshine and some peace of mind If heaven’s got a rhythm, I think I know It’s that easy island reggae flow! [Chorus | Full choir | Warm and uplifting] Hallelujah for the sunshine! Hallelujah for the sea! Little bit of aloha And a whole lot of family! Hawaiian boy, Hawaiian girl Living in a beautiful world Raise your hands, let your worries go Island time, let the good love flow! [Bridge | Gospel breakdown | Hammond organ | Call and response] (Male: Who’s got the sunshine?) (Choir: We got the sunshine!) (Male: Who’s got the ocean?) (Choir: We got the sea!) (Male: Who’s got ʻohana?) (Choir: Everybody here with me!) (Female: And who’s got the plate lunch?) (Male: Hey, I thought that was mine!) [Instrumental Break | Short melodic slack-key guitar | Rolling bass | Organ accents] [Final Chorus | Big joyful harmonies | Handclaps | Still relaxed] Hallelujah for the sunshine! Hallelujah for the sea! Every wave’s a blessing Every day’s a gift to me! Hawaiian boy, Hawaiian girl Sharing a little joy with the world Bare feet dancing where the palm trees sway Aloha in our hearts all day! (Choir: All day long!) (Female: That’s where we belong!) [Outro | Gospel choir softens | Gentle reggae fade] No rush, no race Just a smile on every face Sand and waves, the setting sun Good food, good love, everyone (Male: One more wave?) (Female: One more plate!) (Choir: Aloha, aloha, what a beautiful day!) [End]
