On A Holiday lyrics
by Van Dyke Parks
[Verse 1]
A pirate with a tune on a holiday
A lazy Mr. Moon on a getaway
And isn't that a mood for a milky way
A ukelele lady around a lei
[Hook]
Rock, rock, roll (Child!)
Rock, rock, roll Plymouth Rock, roll over
For a holiday
[Bridge]
Abash and forth a starboard course
With north abeam, sherry of course
The men will share some sport and now me hearty
Not the rum of Carib' sc*m
It's port tonight, drink up and come
Un-weigh the anchor Yank and we will party!
[Verse 2]
A shanty town, a shanty in Waikiki
And juxtapose a man with a mystery
A blue Hawaiian captures his melody
Pauahi O Kalani is what he sings to me
[Hook]
Rock, rock, roll (Child!)
Rock, rock, roll Plymouth Rock, roll over
For a holiday
[Outro]
Long, long ago, long ago
Whisperin' wind sent my wind chimes a-tinklin'
Whisperin' wind sent my wind chimes a-tinklin'
Whisperin' wind sent my wind chimes a-tinklin'
