4  4  4  -4 4  -5 4  -4  5   -7   6   7
Me-le-ka-li-ki-ma-ka is the thing to say
-5 6  -6    6  -6   6    -6    7   6
On a bright Ha-wai-ian Christ-mas day
  5     5  -4  5    -5    5
That's the is-land greet-ing
 -4  4  -7* -6* -7
That we send to you
 7   -5   -6    6    -5   -5    -7
From the land where palm trees sway
 8   8   -8   8     -9    8
Here we know that Christ-mas
 -7  -6   8   -8   -7*
Will be green and bright
-7* -7   -7    7*  -7 -7* -7
The sun will shine by day and
-6* -5   -7   7*   7
All the stars at night
5  5  5  -4 5  -5 5  -4 5   8   8  -7*
Me-le-ka-li-ki-ma-ka is Ha-wai-i's way
-7 -9  -9  -9    8    7  -7 -6
To say Mer-ry Christ-mas to you
