Just an orchid from Hawai`i
Bringing memories of you
And the moonlight shining bright
On Hilo Bay

Just an orchid from Hawai`i
That is calling to me
And I know will bring me back again
Some day

Chorus:
Down by the seashore
My love is waiting there
And she'll be wearing
An orchid in her hair

Just an orchid from Hawai`i
Bringing memories of you
Of my orchid girl
Who's waiting there for me
