It's hard to be away from your family
Especially this time of year
I will send all my love and
Lots of hawaiian Christmas cheer

Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana
Mele kalikimaka I say
Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana
On this Christmas day

I sing to you from the islands
Where the dolphins play
You all are back on the mainland
Missing me as I say

Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana
Mele kalikimaka I say
Merry Christmas to the family
On this Christmas day

I take a walk in the sunshine
The snow is fallin' at your door
I wish we could all be together
Like so many Christmases before

It's hard to be away from your family
Especially this time of year
I will send all my love and
Lots of hawaiian Christmas cheer

Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana
Mele kalikimaka I say
Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana
On this Christmas day, everybody

Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana
Mele kalikimaka I say
Merry Christmas to the family
On this Christmas day
Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana
On this Christmas day (Mele kalikimaka my 'ohana)
