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
