We all were there on Ala wai's shores 
And saw the grandeur of Diamond Head 
Diamond Head, so majestic 
 

We were all at Kapi`olani Park 
And saw the circular racetrack 
Tire of the horse races and gambling 
 

We went to Waikiki 
And saw the beautiful hotels 
The hotels where some of us worked 
 

We all went and saw Makee Island 
And the beauty of the floating water lily, 
Sweet and peaceful 
 

We all went to the Seaside Inn 
And looked with wonder at all 
The riders of the surf gliding swiftly 
 

We all went to Ainahau 
And gazed at the splendor 
And strolled in the tranquility 
 

We all went out last night 
To see the grandeur of Diamond Head 
Diamond Head, so majestic 
 

Sing the refrain 
See the grandeur of Diamond Head 
Diamond Head, so majestic
