G C G
I love a pretty Maui girl,
G G7 C
She lives at Waikapū
D7
With rosy cheeks and pearly teeth
G D7
And lovely nut brown hair.
G C G
Her waist is oh so slender,
G G7 C
Her ʻōpū too much nuinui
D7
Of all the wahine I ever did aloha,
G D7
Sweet Mariah beats them all.
[Chorus]
G D7
My love for you, ua hiki aku nō
D7 G
Your love for me, ua pēlā nō
G G7
Don’t tell Mama, a kulikuli
C A7
She’ll tell Papa, a luliluli
D7 G
Nuinui pilikia with me now
