There's a place in Hawaii
That is very dear to me
I am homesick as can be
Won't you listen to my plea?
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 knew long ago
I can hear old guitars a-playing
On the beach at ho'onaunau
I can hear the hawaiians saying
"Komo mai no kaua ika hale welakahao"
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 kealakekua, hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
