[Verse 1]
Early this morning I drove in the rain
Out to the airport to get on the plane
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii
Alice has been there, she said it was fun
Swimming and surfing, enjoying the sun
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii

[Chorus]
After all I've had to go through
I'm making no plans (Making no plans, ooh)
But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance

[Verse 2]
Guess I've been working a little too hard
Need a vacation, I'll send you a card
From Honolulu, a greeting from happy Hawaii

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
It's so exciting, why should I pretend?
In a few hours, the plane will descend
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii
I can imagine the beach and the sand
Walking with someone and holding his hand
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii

[Chorus]
After all I've had to go through
I'm making no plans (Making no plans, ooh)
But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance, mmm

[Outro]
I've got a feeling the dream will come true
Somebody's waiting and I'll forget you
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii

ABBA are one of the greatest pop outfits in history. Their blend of lush orchestrations and light, bouncy europop was both unique and commercially appealing, taking much of the world by storm.

The band name is a member-centric acronym – Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

Their meteoric rise was sparked by their famed Eurovision performance of original song “Waterloo”, which caused them to win the 1974 competition in Sweden.
