I want to go back to little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines
That I knew long ago

I want to hear the old guitars playing
On the beach at Hônaunau
I want to hear the old Hawaiians saying
Komo mai no kâua 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, you're telling me

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 humuhumunukunukuâpua`a
Go swimming by
