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 hoonaunau
I can hear the hawaiians saying "komomai 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 homeside 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 humuhumu, nukunuku a puaa goes swimming by
