One of the many things I love about Maui is the work ethic, or lack thereof. And one of my favorite songs is It’s Aloha Friday, No Work ‘Til Monday. Check out this tune and be ready to be singing it all through the week. . ![]()

What happens on Aloha Friday. Not much. We go holo holo to da beach. We swim in da ocean. We sit on da beach. We watch da kanes and wahines. We sit on our okoles and do noting.
This little ditty was written by Paul Natto in 1982 and has practically become the National Anthem of Hawaii.
The lyrics go li dis…
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.

So now I gonna jus kinda cruise, take my Bank Americard,

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 Kaluakaua 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!
