 I want to go back to my little grass shack

 In Kealakekua, Hawaii

 I want to be with all the kanes and wahines

 That I used to know... so long ago

 I can hear the old guitars a-playing

On the beach at Honaunau

 I can hear the old Hawaiians saying

 "Komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahau"

 It won't be long till my ship will be sailing

 Back to Kona

 A grand old place

 That's always fair to see... you're telling me

 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 Kealakekua, Hawaii

 Where the humu-humu nuku-nuku a pua'a

 Go swimming by

 Where the humu-humu nuku-nuku a pua'a

 Go swimming by
