I tasted your sweet lips, thrilled to my fingertips
Lips of wine, warm with fire, you are my one desire
Lips of wine, and they are mine

While tropic breezes play, while palm trees gently sway
Lips of wine, come to me, whisper low so tenderly
Lips of wine, and they are mine

Sweet Hawaiian miss, no more will I roam
I must have your kiss, and I can't go home

You stole my heart from me, pretty rose of Waikiki
Lips of wine, sweet and rare, tell me you will always care
Lips of wine, and they are mine

(Sweet lips, sweet and tasty lips)

Sweet Hawaiian miss, no more will I roam
I must have your kiss, and I can't go home

I tasted your sweet lips (sweet lips, your sweet and tasty lips)
Thrilled to my fingertips (sweet lips, your sweet and tasty lips)
Lips of wine, warm with fire, you are my one desire
Lips of wine (sweet lips), and they are mine (sweet lips of wine)
And they are mine (sweet lips of wine)

Oh, they are mine (sweet lips of wine)
