about

You can't hop a train to Hawaii... Unless it's a P38 Triple Stack.

lyrics

You were saving up money for a land of milk and honey
To chase all the honeys
And do like bunnies
And it seems like there should be a better explanation
To go on vacation
But if that's your motivation

And I said "I'll miss you"
And you said "you can come too"
But that's a lie and you know why
It's something that I can't do

You can't hop a train to Hawaii
And I can't catch you on the fly
You can't hop a train to Hawaii oh why oh why do I even try?

And wouldn't it be nice if I were able to hitchhike
Or gas-jug or ride my bike
But to be more specific if dates are really more prolific
Across the pacific

Then I don't know maybe you're on to something, I mean do you have a radar detector for pheromones that you just follow around the country because if so I'd really like go borrow it, but I would need a plane ticket Because nobody had invented a way to hop American Airlines yet

You can't hop a train to Hawaii
And I can't catch you on the fly
You can't hop a train to Hawaii oh why oh why do I even try?

And someday you'll call me when you're alone on your coconut shell telephone
And I will answer and ask why
Is this aloha hello or aloha goodbye?

You can't hop a train to Hawaii
And I can't catch you on the fly
You can't hop a train to Hawaii oh why oh why do I even try?
