Verse 1
Home Late At Night
See The Light In The Window
Working Overtime Just Ain’t No Fun At All
Walking Through The Doorway
Once Again Got No Welcoming
The Wife Ain’t Home
She Got To Have Her Time
Kids In The Living Room
Sleeping Where They Shouldn’t Be
The TV’s On The Dishes Piled Up High
Life Ain’t What It Used To Be
Promises Now Fantasy
I Lost All Hope I Feel So Damn Deprived
Chorus 1
I Know I’m Working For My Wife’s Next Husband
Paying The Bills Trying To Save For A Rainy Day
I’m Working For My Wife’s Next Husband
Those Hundred Days Of Rain Will Soon Be Here
Verse 2
Every day’s Like Yesterday
It Seems There’s No Tomorrow
Working Overtime Just Ain’t No Fun At All
Life Just Ain’t Worth Living
Seems The Days Just Come And Go
I Hardly Ever See Her Anymore
Seems Like Only Yesterday
All Our Dreams Were Here To Stay
Help Me Understand Why We’re Apart
Life Ain’t What It Used To Be
Promises Now Fantasy
I Lost All Hope I Feel So Damn Deprived
Chorus 2
I Know I’m Working For My Wife’s Next Husband
Paying The Bills Trying To Save For A Rainy Day
I’m Working For My Wife’s Next Husband
Those Hundred Days Of Rain Will Soon Be Here
Chorus 3
I Know I’m Working For My Wife’s Next Husband
Paying The Bills Trying To Save For A Rainy Day
I’m Working For My Wife’s Next Husband
Those Hundred Days Of Rain Will Soon Be Here
Those Hundred Days Of Rain Will Soon Be Here
Those Hundred Days Of Rain Will Soon Be Here… Ye Haw

LA, this kind of town suits me fine
Tonight, I’m gonna make it all mine
I love you LA, You’ve always been on my mind
This evening We’re gonna have a grand time
Fine women, fine dining, California wine
Cruising down, Hollywood and Vine
See all the stars on the rock of fame
Maybe someday you’ll see my name
LA, I’m never leaving this town
I’m gonna love you, I’m gonna make it all mine
Instrumental
I love you LA, You’ve always been on my mind
This evening we’re gonna have a grand time
Party time, it’s almost eight
Sunset Boulevard can’t be late
Roxy, Whiskey, the House of Blues
Dining at Gladstone Malibu
LA, I’m never leaving this town
I’m gonna love you
Come rain or come shine
LA

Don Ho and the Alii’s
Since the 1960’s, The Aliis, in all forms, remain as legendary royalty in Hawaii ’s musical history. Through the years, members included Rudy Aquino, Benny Chong, Joe Mundo, Manny Lagodlagod, Al Akana, Carlos Barboza, Bobby King, Danny Couch, and L.D. Cabral.
The Aliis: Showroom entertainers and hit recording artists for two decades. Al Akana, Rudy Aquino , Benny Chong, Manny Lagodlagod and Joe Mundo were the other half of Don Ho & The Aliis at Duke Kahanamoku’s in the 1960s. Carlos Barbosa, LD Cabral, Danny Couch and Bobby King contributed to the group’s success in the ’70s and early ’80s (Don Ho received the Sidney Grayson Award, the predecessor of the current Lifetime Achievement Award, in 1979).
The Don Ho Experience DISCOGRAPHY
Don Ho recorded several Hawai’i-linked songs that received national renown.
“Tiny Bubbles,” released in 1966, was his signature tune, and most well-known hit. He performed it for a national audience in 2005 during the Pro Bowl halftime show, alongside “American Idol” also-ran Jasmine Trias.
A handful of tunes penned by Kui Lee, a local singer and composer, also were ’60s favorites, helping launch Ho’s career and giving him credence as a recording act. They include “I’ll Remember You,” “Lahainaluna,” “One Paddle, Two Paddle,” “She’s Gone Again” and “If I Had to Do It All Over Again.”
In 1978, Ho recorded a novelty song that became a local hit, heard often on Island radio stations: “Who Is the Lolo (Who Stole My Pakalolo?).” And in 2002, displaying his sense of humor, he recorded a cover version of Peter Gabriel’s “Shock the Monkey” for a compilation CD, “When Pigs Fly.” The track was turned into an animated music video.
Over the years, many of the performer’s sing-along party songs have been popular, too, including “Pearly Shells (Pupu A’o ‘Ewa),” “E Lei Ka Lei Lei” and “By the Shack, by the Sea.”
Ho recorded a Christmas album, on which his bilingual “Silent Night (Po La’i E),” sung in English and in Hawaiian, emerged as a holiday trademark.
Among his notable albums:
“The Don Ho Show Live From Hawaii” (Reprise)”East Coast/West Coast” (Reprise)”Hawaii Ho!” (Reprise)”Home in the Country” (Mega)”Tiny Bubbles” (Reprise)”I Think About You” (Ho Enterprises)”Live at the Polynesian Palace” (Reprise)”Suck ’em Up” (Reprise)”You’re Gonna Hear From Me” (Reprise)”Instant Happy” (Reprise).”The Don Ho Christmas Album” (Reprise)”Hawaii Right Now! Don Ho Presents The Ali’is” (Reprise)”Don Ho’s Greatest Hits” (Reprise)
10 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT DON HO:
Though he made “Suck ’em Up” a household toast, he was bleeped out the first time he uttered these words on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight” show, in 1972. At the time, it was deemed too risque.He hated being photographed in profile.He was a handyman. “I love fixing up my house … with the help of a contractor,” he once said.He loved to golf, and hung out at the Ko’olau Golf Course (he had a 22 handicap). “Golf is something you’ll never conquer; it’s something to be challenged,” he said.He loved soybeans and recommended them widely in his later life. “Good for you and your health,” he said.He was hard of hearing: “I tried a hearing aid, but I hated it.”His name commonly pops up in crossword puzzle clubs: “Hawaiian entertainer (five letters).”He took a daily power nap. “Twenty minutes gets you going again,” he said. “It works for animals.”His image as Hawai’i’s tippling Dean Martin was toned down after the ’90s. In his earlier days, he routinely sipped Chivas Regal on stage. In later years, it was water or pineapple juice.He was the only Waikiki performer who regularly used a teleprompter, which displayed his song lyrics.

Two generations of The Alii’s got together on one stage for a once-in-a-lifetime reunion concert on Sunday January 15th, 2017 at the Scottish Rite Event Center in Long Beach, California.
All 9 members of the Aliis’s: Al Akana, Rudy Aquino, Nathan Aweau, Carlos Barboza, Ben Chong, Danny Couch, Bobby King, Manny LaGod,& Joe Mundo will be taking you back on a musical journey to the days of Don Ho all the way to the present with your favorite hits.
The Aliis formed in 1961 as a musical group representing Hawaii in the U.S. Air Force. After serving our time while stationed at Bolling AFB in Washington D.C. the group joined Don Ho in 1964.
It has been 55 years since the groups inception and the subsequent splitting up in 1973 when I was the first member to leave the group. Monies donated will help travel expenses, hotel and transportation for the group to perform in the greater Los Angeles area.
