'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hale

Mama in her in her mu'umu'u and papa in his malo

Greeting 'aikane, pehea, mahalo

Sister gathered flowers for a lei

Brother watched the imu all of the day
D# A#
Soon the music boys began to play
B#7 E#7
Mele old and new of Hawai'i nei

The tables were loaded with plenty of kaukau
F7 A#
Opihi and salmon and steaming hot laulau
We ate and talked stories until we were all pau

It was really maika'i at our Christmas lu'au
E7
It was really maika'i at our Christmas lu'A:au
