[Spoken]
Song entitled O'Brien Is Tryin' to Learn to Talk Hawaiian. Done in nineteen-hundred-and-sixteen by Mr. Horace Wright; Victor Records

[Sung]
O'Brien is tryin' to learn to talk Hawaiian to his Honolulu Lou
Sure he's tryin', and sighin', and all the while he's dyin'
Just to say I love you true

With his "Ak-ky-Ak-ky Hu-la
Be-gor-ra Hick-i Du-lah"
And his smiling Irish too
Sure, O'Brien is tryin' to learn to talk Hawaiian
To his Honolulu Lou

Pat O'Brien started buyin' a ticket to the Sandwich Isles
His face all full of smiles, he started in the while
Pat meandered and he wandered where the ukulеles play
He met a sweet Hawaiian maidеn down in Honolulu Bay

If his wife only knew, he'd be in an Irish stew, Be-gor-ra, he would

O'Brien is tryin' to learn to talk Hawaiian to his Honolulu Lou
Sure he's tryin', and sighin', and all the while he's dyin'
Just to say I love you true

With his "Ak-ky-Ak-ky Hu-la
Be-gor-ra Hick-i Du-lah"
And his smiling Irish too
Sure, O'Brien is tryin' to learn to talk Hawaiian
To his Honolulu Lou
O'Brien is tryin' to learn to talk Hawaiian to his Honolulu Lou
