(Robin & Rainger)

Information:
Blue 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 recording of Blue Hawaii (Dot 15879).

Elvis recorded Blue Hawaii for his 1961 movie of the same name on March 22, 1961, at Radio Recorders. The Take #7 was used for the film and on record. After 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.
