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 Honaunau
I can hear the Hawaiians saying
Komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahao
It won't be long till my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see,
I'm just a little Hawaiian like 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 apua
