You are festive to see
- O Royal Hawaiian Hotel
- Beauty gleaming
- True beauty
Velvet beds we sleep
upon
- Smooth, soft and good
- Beauty gleaming
- True beauty
Green marble walls
- Rainbow constantly at
arch
- Beauty gleaming
- True beauty
Soft song of sea on sand
dunes
- Wafting in fragrance of
seaweed
- Beauty gleaming
- True beauty
Leaves of coconut sway
- In the late night
- Beauty gleaming
- True beauty
The morning star your
guide
- Power of the Trinity your
home
- Beauty gleaming
- True beauty
Answer o Royal Hawaiian
Hotel
- This is for the glory of your
name
- Beauty gleaming
- True beauty
