I LIKE THE SAND SPREADING OUT TO THE SEA, I LIKE THE TROPICAL MOON AND THE

LAZY PALM TREE. I LIKE TO LISTEN TO MY HEART, THERE’S NO PLACE I’D RATHER

BE. I LIKE THE PEOPLE, I LIKE THE WAY THEY SMILE, I LIKE THE FEELING OF YOU

ON THIS PARADISE ISLE. I LIKE THE COOL ISLAND GECKO, MAN THIS IS WHERE I

WANNA BE.

CHORUS:

TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE. TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE.

ALL OVA‘, MO’ BETTA, MOLOKA’I I WILL RETURN.

TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE. TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE.

ALL OVA‘, MO’ BETTA, MOLOKA’I I WILL RETURN.

I LIKE THE GECKO SINGIN’ IN THE NIGHT, I LIKE TO DO THE DANCE THEY DO TO THE

MOLOKA’I SLIDE, WHEN THE SUN COMES UP SHINING, ALWAYS MO’ BETTA DA KINE.

I LIKE TO HULA, I THINK IT’S REALLY GOOD, WOMAN I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE WORDS

BUT IN TIME I THINK I COULD, IF I JUST HAD THE TIME, OH IF I JUST HAD THE TIME.

I SAY A WON’T YOU COME ALONG, WE’LL HAVE A LUAU BY THE SEA. WE’LL COOK A

LITTLE PIG AND ALL THE COCONUTS ARE FREE. AND WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET,

IN A LITTLE GRASS SHACK. I KNOW YOU’RE GONNA LIKE IT AND I HOPE YOU

COME BACK.

I LIKE THE FISHES SWIMMING ROUND IN HE SEA. I LIKE TO POP ‘UM ON THE GRILL, AND

COOK ‘UM UP FOR ME, WITH A BIG PAN OF BUTTER, MAN IT CAN’T GET BETTER THAN

THIS. I LIKE THE CHICKEN, WE POP ‘UM ON THE GRILL, MAN IT HURTS TO EAT THE

RAW FISH AND EAT UP ALL THE SPILLS. OH WELL, OH YEAH. IT’S JUST A LUAU DOWN

BY THE SEA.

TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE. TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE.

ALL OVA‘, MO’ BETTA, MOLOKA’I I WILL RETURN.

TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE. TAKE ME BACK. BACK TO DA KINE.

ALL OVA‘, MO’ BETTA, MOLOKA’I I WILL RETURN.

ALL OVA’ MO’ BETTA, I WILL RETURN.
