- There's an island across the sea
- Beautiful Kaua`i, beautiful Kaua`i
- And it's calling, yes calling to me
- Beautiful Kaua`i, beautiful Kaua`i
- In the midst of Fern Grotto
- Mother Nature made her home
- And the falls of Wailua
- Where lovers often roam
- So I'll return to
- My isle across the sea
- Beautiful Kaua`i, beautiful Kaua`i
- Where my true love is waiting for me
- Beautiful Kaua`i, beautiful Kaua`i
- Beautiful Kaua`i, beautiful Kaua`i
