Just was inspired to do this song after watching Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii.

Very nice! I recognize that arrangement, I think...did you by chance learn that from Basil Henriques' video lesson (of Barney Isaacs' version of the tune)? I did, anyway (and I don't bother with the key change either ha!).
Waikīkī, at night when the shadows are falling
I hear the rolling surf calling
Calling and calling to me
I hear the rolling surf calling
Calling and calling to me

Aloha Joe,
I used some idea's from it, like the turnaround, and the move from the C chord to the A7th which I liked, but I kept many parts the way I played it at my gig.
My co-workers laughed when they seen the title of this song because of the bad timing with the ongoing pandemic.
One fourth of the island of Oahu here is out on unemployment.
