I like the sand spreading out to the sea I like the tropical moon and the lazy palm trees I like to listen to my heart, there1s 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 Take me back. Back to da kine. Take me back Back to da kine All over, mo' betta, Moloka'I I will return Take me back. Back to da kine. Take me back Back to da kine All over, mo' betta, Moloka'I I will return I like the gecko singing 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 lu'au 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 that you come back I like the fishes swimming round in the sea I like to hop '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 hop '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 over, mo' betta, Moloka'I I will return All over. Mo betta, Moloka'I I will return
