Mele Kalikimaka Lyrics

Mele Kalikimaka is a thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian 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
That sun to shine by day and all those stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On that bright Hawaiian Christmas day
It'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
That sun to shine by day and all those stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you...

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
That sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas
A very-very, Merry-Merry Christmas to you

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
