Lyrics

When the Fiji moon is shining
In the heavens up above
That’s the time to go a-strolling
With the Fiji girl you love.

When you ask her if she loves you
You will hear her answer soon.
Oh I would rather be a Fiji sweetheart
Underneath, the Fiji, the great big Fiji
Underneath the Fiji moon.

When the Fiji moon is shining
In the heavens up above
That’s the time to go a-strolling
With the Fiji girl you love (Fiji girl you love)

When you ask her if she loves you
You will hear her answer soon.
Oh I would rather be a Fiji sweetheart
Underneath, the Fiji, the great big Fiji
Underneath the Fiji moon.
