Waikiki Cowboy Lyrics - Singles - Victoria Shaw

A cowboy came to Waikiki 

Took a look around 

Saw the girls in the short grass skirts 

And he was hula bound 

So he traded his chaps and his ten gallon hat 

for a surfboard and a pair of thongs 

Sold his gun, bought a small ukulele 

And he learned to sing this song: 

Yippie-aye-oh don-ho mahi mahi 

Its a tie dye tiki and some barbecued Poi 

I'm riding the range and the waves of Hawaii 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

Fell in love on the very first day 

With a girl with dark brown eyes 

He never could pronounce her nam 

So he called her sweetie pie 

And for her he would try a coconut-and-papaya 

And for him she would do-si-do 

And when the sun was gone 

He would sing this song 

By the light of the volcano 

Yippie-aye-oh don-ho mahi mahi 

Its a tie dye tiki and some barbecued Poi 

I'm riding the range and the waves of Hawaii 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

Sometimes he dreams of going back to Texas 

And giving up his little grass hut 

But then a Palm tree sways 

He comes to his senses 

And he says 

(Spoken) 

"What am I, nuts?" 

Yippie-aye-oh don-ho mahi mahi 

Its a tie dye tiki and some barbecued Poi 

I'm riding the range and the waves of Hawaii 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

Yippie-aye-oh don-ho mahi mahi 

Its a tie dye tiki and some barbecued Poi 

I'm riding the range and the waves of Hawaii 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

I'm a Waikiki cowboy 

(Spoken) 

It's kinda fun. 

Hahaha, you gotta leave that stuff on there.
