Auwe Kakou! No one can find the words. Well let's set the record straight, as the writer and producer of the song you can find the karaoke version on Island Roots by Quiet Storm records or call Pacific Island Music and ask for Odell at 1-808-671-1771 and get the Authorized Original Collectors version. In addition, you can also go to www.aloha2go.com and order it from Joe Chan.

Aloha ano ai ke aloha everyone,
Here are the words to this song below. You know, Kimo and I go back years ago when we use to perform all over in Waikiki and elsewhere doing the luau shows. A time when only a few Hula Schools existed. E walea ana (enjoy)!

It’s Aloha Friday
By Kimo Kahoano & Paul Natto


Here is where I sit, all cloudy and blitzed
with the Primo bottles lying everywhere
Got a guitar in my hand and a Wesson Oil can
Under my okole for a chair.

CHORUS:
It's Aloha Friday, no work till Monday.
Doo be doo, doo doo be, doo be doo be doo be doo!
(Repeat)

The cousins all here, drinking up my beer
got keikies running everywhere.
I got some poki on the side while mama's trying to hide
the Miller and the Heineken beer.

(CHORUS)

OK. You know when you wanna get away, I mean one ting
about Friday ma, da working work is ovah yeah.
Frankly, ya, I feel good man.
I work hard all week long.
I can't wait to get away, you know like down like the beach.
I'm cruise dis weekend yeah, get one hot concert too man,
dat's the most important ting. But main ting too,
is to get enough money fo gas and to go out to da disco.
I like to see all da beautiful chicks Yeah!
So now I gonna jus kinda cruise, take my Bank Americard,
you know adderwise, how can I get money?
Right, plus den my friends always say
eh braddah, you can buy me one drink then.

THIRD VERSE

Kimo and the crew sucking up the brew
pulehu meat smoking on the side
All the surfers are a-droppin'
while the highschool are a-poppin'
down Kalakaua for a ride.

CHORUS:

It's Aloha Friday, no work 'til Monday.
Doo be doo, doo doo be, doo be doo be doo be doo!

REPEAT

Love that song, Paul -- and play it on my Friday radio shows here on Kaua`i (kkcr.org) nearly every week. On the Fridays that I forget to play it, the complaint calls come rolling in!

I first heard it on St. Louis radio station, a Hollywoood reporter, Mike ??? sang it on TGIF. I thought he made it up BUT then last month I heard my nephew in St. Paul sing it. He is MGR of Arbie's and they have Aloha Fridays once a month.

So it is a world wide phenomena, huh Go figure!

I lived on Maui for 5 years and on the Valley Isle, Aloha Friday is the real deal! Especially if there is a swell in and the surf is up. Pau hana as soon as can on Friday, meet all friends and family at your favorite beach park for all day food, drink, story, fishing and surf and carry on thru the weekend.

My kids even gave me a tee shirt that Coca Cola made of bunch of for promotion that say, "It's Aloha Friday" on the front and "No work till Monday" on the back.

Live Aloha!

One of my colleagues used to live in Hawaii for several years. A few weeks ago when I mentioned to him that several of us in the office used to have "Hawaiian Shirt" Fridays, and that I thought we should start doing it again, he said, "Oh Yeah! Aloha Fridays! I think we should do it!" And a few weeks ago was our first Aloha Friday of the summer.

This morning (Thursday) I mentioned to him that although it isn't Friday yet, that song is bouncing around my cranium this morning and I can't get rid of it!!!

VIVA ALOHA FRIDAYS!!!
