Let's Talk Dirty In Hawaiian by John Prine
Let's Talk Dirty In Hawaiian
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
D
I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
A
For the land of the tall palm tree
D
Aloha Old Milwaukee, Hello Waikiki
I just stepped down from the airplane
G
When I thought I heard her say
D
Waka waka nuka nuka, waka waka nuka nuka
A D A
Would you like a lei? Eh?
[Chorus]
D
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
A
Whisper in my ear
Kicka poo ka maka wa wah wahini
D
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my tiki
G
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
D
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
A D
Say the words I long to hear
D
It's a ukelele Honolulu sunset
A
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from a pineapple
D
Out on Honolulu Bay
The steel guitars all playing
G
While she's talking with her hands
D
Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and wanta polka
A D A
Words I under stand
[Chorus]
D
I boughta lota junka with my moola
A
And sent it to the folks back home
I never had the chance to dance the hula
D
I guess I should have known
When you start talking to the sweet wahini
G
Walking in the pale moon light
D
Oka doka what a setta knocka rocka sis boom bocas
A D A
Hope I said it right
[Chorus]

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
The verses and chorus are played the same way. I like to start each with the
following run:
e|---------|
B|---------|
G|---------|
D|---------|
A|---0-2-3-|
E|-3-------|
I also like to play the first strum of the F chord as follows:
e|------1----|
B|------1----|
G|----2------|
D|-----------|
A|--3--------|
E|-----------|
The G7 chord is:
e|-1-|

A|-2-|
E|-3-|
Hope you enjoy!
