Song: Mele Kalikimaka
Artist: Bing Crosby & The Andrew Sisters

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawian Christmas day
That's the island greeting
 That we send to you from the land
Where palm trees sway

Here we know that Christmas
Will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day
And all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say
Merry Christmas to you
