Jimmy Buffett - Mele Kalikimaka Lyrics






Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that Xmas will be green and bright
Sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you.

[Repeat]

    Quviasugit Quviasuvimmi Is the Thing to Say
    On A Dark Nunavut Christmas Day

    Awesome version of this song! Kudos to you Mr Buffett. 👍

  27. G.... G....

    I'm having a mental debate about whether Jimmy Buffet or Bing Crosby did it better.

    G.... G....

    @M R I like the brush fill in Jimmy's version, but I also enjoy Bing Crosby's instrumental break with the loud, piercing trumpets. Help me.

    G.... G....

    @George Greener Well, while Bing can do no wrong, especially with Christmas songs, Jimmy is the King of the Tropics, so it's fitting that he did a Hawaiian Christmas song.

  28. h.... g....

  38. I.... G....

    I love your songs

    I.... G....

    Thank you! I did have a full month of Christmas videos when I initially started. However, because of policies, some videos got removed or no longer available in the country, which was weird. I'll try and upload a couple more videos, if I don't get flagged.

    You can also view my personal channel, as well, and show it some love too. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to view and enjoy my playlist, both here and my other page: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFoodTruckJunkie

    Hope you have a great holiday season! ~Nick
