Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background while Chevy Chase is 'daydreaming' / looking at his pool through the kitchen window?

Song sounds Hawaiian to me.....

Maybe tab exists ?

Thanks

"Mele Kalikimaka" sung by Bing Crosby with The Andrews Sisters.

There are many versions on youtube, some with lyrics.

Kacey Musgraves with Chris Scruggs and The Quebe Sisters

Kind of in line with what Chevy was thinkin'

Hi Ron,

Last week I had the same question on my mind because I had to play this song for Christmas. It's one of those fun, family favorites we all like to sing to. I couldn't find any tabs but I bought the sheet music on musicnotes.com and that helped me to get the chords down quickly.
I used that as a guide and fiddled my way with the intro.
I posted a video on YouTube of me playing my fender custom and ukulele, my uncle is playing guitar and a good friend, Danielle recorded the vocals here:
