[Intro]
He was a big wave surfer
Livin' down by Waimea Bay
We had a few friends
Never thought it would end

[Verse 1]
I remember an all white day with 8-story waves
He said "Your eyes are gray" (Beautiful)
We were livin' on Côte d'Alene
On Carol Lane, sun Manta Ray

[Chorus]
Drivin' in a Mercury down to Waimea
Drivin' in a Mercury
Drivin' in a Mercury down to Waimea
Drivin' in a Mercury

[Verse 2]
I remember we came in May
And we changed our names to Lana and Ray
We be up 'til the sun rose, ay
I'm in gold Lamé, your pink floral, hey

[Chorus]
Drivin' in a Mercury down to Waimea
Drivin' in a Mercury
Drivin' in a Mercury down to Waimea
Drivin' in a Mercury

[Outro]
Waikiki-ko, Waikiki-ko
Waikiki, Waikiki, Waikiki-ko
Waikiki-ko, Waikiki-ko
Waikiki, Waikiki, Waikiki-ko
