Hawaii (i/həˈwaɪ.iː/ or /həˈwaɪʔiː/; Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi Hawaiian pronunciation: [hɐˈvɐiʔi]) is the most recent of the 50 U.S. states (August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean.
Hawaii’s diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches and oceanic surrounding, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. Due to its mid-Pacific location, Hawaii has many North American and Asian influences along with its own vibrant native culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight "main islands" are (from the northwest to southeast) Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and the island of Hawaiʻi. The last is by far the largest and is often called "The Big Island" to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. The archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.

Whether you're in L.A.,
Sunny laid back L.A.
Whether you're in New York,
Comfort 'round your block.
Whether you're in the U.K.,
Where the sky is dark
And the grass is kinda green,
You know like Central Park.
Still my favorite place
In this whole wide world
Has got to be in the middle
of the ocean floor.
I see you poking out of the ocean.
Paradise on Earth.
The 50th state - WHAT?!
Hawaii.
I wanna live in somewhere different.
A nuclear distaster might be on our way.
But I don't care, I'm in the U.S.A.
Whether you're drunk or stoned
or we're sober and old,
If I'm with you
I'm a happy man.
if you feel safe and cold
while you count your gold.
if your problem is you can't find
your remote control.
still my favorite person
in this whole wide world
is the woman who can
understand every word
and when she speaks to me
she makes me
see the whole world
as my favorite place
Hawaii.
We got it made
Yes, i know.
can we go
by plane or boat.
whether you take it slow
or you let me go
whether you tell me something
that i did not know
whether you're neat and polite
or you scream and fight
whether you keep something from me
that i wouldn't like
still my favorite attitude
in this world so far
is the friendly spirit
of an iron heart
like the way folks are in
this most special place
i dont care what happens
i'm taking a plane to
hawaii

All i want to do is something different
oh let me in
cut off from malaysia
back in who knows when
oh we got kinda lost
but my god what a place
i profess
airforce jets
cannot take
away my soul
I love to wake in the morning light
The kind that sticks between your fingers
I'm learning peace but I know I'll let it go
For the thrill and the wonder of adventure...
Oh adventure, I'll follow you, adventure...
I found a shiny one, keep it in my hand
Gonna send you a long long letter
You will understand and you'll love me still
Even though you should know better,
Even though you should know better.
Yes, yes, yes
Oh trouble follows like a friend in need
And my compassion is my weakness (sweetness)
Everyone is looking for that fine fine line
Between contentment and the troubled mind of genius
Of genius, I'll follow you
I found a shiny one, keep it in my hand
Gonna send you a long long letter
You will understand and you'll love me still
Even though you should know better,
Even though you should know better.
Evening falls on these island skies and soothes the
weary into sleeping
The strangers gather round the fireside
While I silently long for the familiar
For the familiar, I'll follow you
I found a shiny one, keep it in my hand
Gonna send you a long long letter
You will understand and you'll love me still
Even though you should know better
Even though you should know better
Even though you should know better
Even though you should know better
the headaches are all gone / and it's morning in this song
Hawaii / let's go to Hawaii
He likes to argue
She likes it loud
He likes his bath water hot
She's not to read his paper, wow
He wants another daughter
But she's through with labor
It's so much more exciting
Somewhere pleasant
Like Hawaii in the winter
Like Hawaii in the fall
Like Hawaii spring or summer
It's Hawaii after all
He wants a macaw
She doesn't mind
They watch the X-Files
Sundays at nine
She said we'll make a daughter
It's gotta be just perfect
It's so much more exciting
Somewhere pleasant
Like Hawaii in the winter
Like Hawaii in the fall
Like Hawaii spring or summer
It's Hawaii after all
The plane is overcrowded
The hotel is too tall
The souvenirs are cheesy
Little dancing hula dolls
And he's her big kahuna
With plastic lai and all
And she is still his cheesy little dancing hula doll
In Hawaii in the winter
In Hawaii in the fall
In Hawaii spring or summer
It's Hawaii atfer all
They know us, the meanest
Baddest boys in town
Ripping up at full speed
Don't you cower out
Getting in the way
We kick you to the side
Buying your new way
Don't you stop our ride
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in sin
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in sin
We sacrifice our bodies
To get just what we need
To satisfy our endless lingering for
Passion, lust and greed
Climb up on our wagon
We'll take you to the top
Eastward to the dragons
Where the fun will never stop
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in sin
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in...
Sin (hahaha)
Would you like
Sypmhony littered
(Ahahahaha)
We are
Living
In...
(Ahahah)
I love sin
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in sin
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in...
[Guitar solo]
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in sin
Pull the chains, watch them live on
We are living in sin
We are living in sin
Try to keep my focus
In this not so ordinary day
Time keeps spinning forward
It's been weeks since I have slept
So thanks a lot
Still she counts the pictures on her wall
She remembers when she used to be so tall
Stomach's butterfly'in
Phone keeps ringin'
Guess you got caught up, again
Said your watch stopped tickin'
How convenient
When I'm the one in love
And you're all drunk
You're so drunk
Never meant to hold you down
Never meant to hold you down
Down, down down down
Never meant to hold you down
Down
Down
Down
Down, yeah!
Still she counts the pictures on her wall
She remembers when she used to be so
Used to be so
Still she counts the pictures on her wall
What do you see when you look in my eyes
I have a feeling, you know who I am
Am I the one who can make you happy
I don't know, don't wanna break you down
Down
Down
Down
You know, I'll try, to please you babe
But I always, seem to fall on my face
And now, that I see what I do
I think I should just stay away
You know, I'll try, to please you babe
But I always, seem to fall on my face
And now, that I see what I do
I think I should just stay away
I want to go to Hawaii
Build my castle out of sand
And I won't need anybody
Telling me that I can't
And you can't see
That you're seeing me
If you don't know
Who I am
You can't see
That you need me
And neither one of us, can be found
And neither one of us, can be found
I want to soak up the water
I dream about you every night
And in my mind, date, and order
Take it away in just one flight
And you can't see
That you're seeing me
If you don't know
Who I am
You can't see
That you need me
And neither one of us, can be found
And neither one of us, can be found
And neither one of us, can be found
Do you wanna go
Straight to Hawaii
(Hawaii) Hawaii (Hawaii)
Straight to Hawaii (Hawaii
Hawaii)
Oh do (Honolulu
Waikiki) you wanna come along with me

With their grass skirts down to their knees
All my life I wanted to see
The island called Hawaii
Go to Hawaii

Straight to Hawaii (Hawaii

Oh do (Honolulu

That's in Hawaii (Hawaii
