I want to go back to the little grass shack in kealakekua hawaii
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines that i used to know 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 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 (yes siree)
Well i'm just a little hawaiian 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 go swimming by.
