The Bells of Honolulu,
lyric by Johnny Mercer, Music by Franz Steininger. For
educational and research use.
The natives were singing aloha
the vessel was ready to start
The chapel bells rand out their sad goodbye
A maiden was kissing her sailor
and begging him not to depart
as there on the shore he kissed her once more
and whispered with a sigh
When the Bells of Honolulu
sing their twilight melody
I'll be sailing far away from you
so pray for me
Let the Bells of Honolulu
at the close of ev'ry day
ring a message of my love to you----while I'm away
Let's kiss and say Aloha
Aloha till we meet again
time will fly Bye and bye
When the Bells of Honolulu will ring out their sweetest song
for they'll see me in your arms again--Where I belong
When the Bells of Hon-o-
where I belong
