I WANNNA TO GO BACK TO MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KE-A-LA-KE-KUA, HAWAII.
I WANNA BE WITH ALL THE KA-NES AND WA-HI-NES THAT I KNEW LONG AGO.
I CAN HEAR OLD GUITARS A-PLAYING ON THE BEACH AT HO-O-NAU-NAU
I CAN HEAR HAWAIIANS SAYING, "KO-MO-MAI NO-KA-U-A I-KA HA-LE WE-LA-KA-HAO."
IT WON’T BE LONG ‘TIL MY SHIP WILL BE SAILING BACK TO KONA
A GRAND OLD PLACE THAT’S ALWAYS FAIR TO SEE.
I’M JUST A LITTLE HAWAIIAN AND A HOMESICK ISLAND BOY,
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY FISH AND POI,
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KE-A-LA-KE-KUA, HAWAII.
WHERE THE HU-MU-HU-MU-NU-KU-NU-KU-A-PU-A’A GOES SWIMMING BY.
