Mele Fong and her husband Richard Tom – The Hawaiian Serenaders – sing and play Honolulu I’m Coming Back Again on ukulele and u-bass over photos of Mele attending the Ukulele Festival which led to teaching ukulele workshops on Oahu in 2014 (words below). #playuke #ukulelemusic #hapahaolesongs
Mele’s arrangement of the Honolulu I’m Coming Back again is in C with 13-chords and I Wanna Chuck Strum for ‘ukulele.
This hapa haole song meaning Hawaiian style music with English words has the subtitle “Honolulu Expects You in 1922” written on the original sheet music. It was issued under the sanction of The Chamber of Commerce of Honolulu by Aloha Temple, probably for a Shriners convention that year.

I seem to hear the pali calling me
I seem to hear the surf at Waikiki
And from Pacific Heights I seem to see the lights
Of the city that is very dear to me
I seem to see the waving sugar cane
The coco palms are nodding in the rain
In fancy I am led back to dear old Diamond Head
Honolulu I am coming back again.
I seem to hear the pali calling me
I seem to hear the surf at Waikiki
And from Pacific Heights I seem to see the lights
Of the city that is very dear to me
I seem to see the waving sugar cane
The coco palms are nodding in the rain
In fancy I am led back to dear old Diamond Head
Honolulu I am coming back again.
Honolulu I am coming back again.
Honolulu I am coming back again.
