There's a place in Hawaii
That is very dear to me
I am homesick as can be
Won't you listen to my plea?

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 Ho'onaunau
I can hear the Hawaiians saying
'Komo mai 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 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 humuhumunukunukuapua'a goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapua'a goes swimming by
