Hawaii was written by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger in 1937, and introduced in
the movie Waikiki Wedding by Bing Crosby, who also recorded the song that
year. Crosby’s recording (Decca 1175) was made with Lani McIntire and His
Hawaiians. In 1959 Billy Vaughn reached #37 on the Hot 100 chart with his

the worldwide telecast of Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii, Elvis recorded Blue
Hawaii for the NBC-TV version of the special, which aired in the United
States on April 4, 1973.
Lyrics:
Night and you
And blue Hawaii
The night is heavenly
And you are heaven to me
Lovely you
And blue Hawaii
With all this loveliness
There should be love
1. Come with me
While the moon is on the sea,
The night is young
And so are we, so are we
2. Dreams come true
In blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you
1. 2.
