Lyrics
José:
Olé! Olé! It's showtime!
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
José:
All the birds sing words
Michael:
And the flowers croon
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
José:
Welcome to a tropical hideaway, you lucky people, you
If we weren't in the show starting right away
We’d be in the audience too
All:
Altogether!
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
José:
All the birds sing words
Michael:
And the flowers croon
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
Michael:
I sing so beautiful, I should sing solo!
José:
Si, so low we can't hear you!
Pierre:
My voice may not be so marvelous, but my profile is out of this world.
Fritz:
Ja wohl, but the trouble is, it's not far enough out of this world! Isn't that right, Herr Schmidt? Oh ho, I see! Schmidt has no hair!
José:
Mi amigos, stop the clucking. You sound like a bunch of old hens. There's a lot of birds waiting to go on. For instance!
Michael:
The boys in the back are called macaws
José:
Because of their claws?
Michael:
No, because they're macaws!
And our fine feathered friend is a jolly toucan
And two can sound better than one toucan can!
José:
The bird of paradise is an elegant bird
It likes to be seen and it loves to be heard
Most little birdies will fly away
But the Tiki Room birds are here every day!
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
José:
All the birds sing words
Michael:
And the flowers croon
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
Michael:
Our show is delightful, we hope you'll agree
We hope that it fills you with pleasure and glee
Because if we don't make you feel like that
We’re gonna wind up on a lady's hat!
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
José:
All the sing words
Michael:
And the flowers croon
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
José:
Our magnificent production is yet to come
So strum the guitar and beat the drum
We've been a hit, and we know you adore us
So come on and join us in another chorus!
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
Michael:
A little softer!
Flowers:
All the birds sing words
And the flowers croon
All:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
Michael:
A little louder!
Flowers:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room
All:
All the birds sing words
And the flowers croon
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room!
