I've seen the whole world
From Singapore to Aberdeen
If you ask me where it was the most beautiful
I'll say Zanzibar!
It was a tough one crossing â
Ten weeks just scrubbing the deck
Cursed the world
Spit into the wind
And swallowed salty water!
When we dropped the anchor it was there was heavenly peace'
And the sun was vertical in the sky
When I looked over the railing
Then I thought I was dreaming â
There were a thousand boats and They were heading towards us!
There were men and women in the boats
Their bodies shone in the sun
And they sang a song
That seemed strange to me known before
But I've never heard it like that before
Uhhhh, I've never heard it like that before!
Aloha heja hey â aloha heja hey, aloha heja hey< br/>Aloha heja he â aloha heja hey, aloha heja hee
Their boats moored alongside
And with the wind laughter blew across
They took their wreaths of flowers off
And threw them over to us
Hehhhh, and the party was already underway!
Aloha heja he â aloha heja he, aloha heja he
Aloha heja he â aloha heja hey, aloha heja hey
I saw paradise
It was around nineteen hundred and ten!
The helmsman had sailors on the mast
And the purser ha'm eaten the gonococci â
But otherwise we were in excellent health!
Aloha heja he â aloha heja he, aloha heja he
Aloha heja he â aloha heja he , aloha heja he
Aloha heja he â aloha heja he, aloha heja he
Aloha heja he â aloha heja he, aloha heja he
Aloha heja he â aloha heja he, aloha heja he
Aloha heja he â aloha heja he, aloha heja . . .
