Somewhere on a South Pacific island   Sits a young man staring at the surf   His native girlfriend died a death quite violent   A tribal sacrifice made to the earth      She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue   A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name   She and her young man made a handsome two   But lava tore them both apart again      Leilani, don't go to the volcano   (He'd say)      They were saving for a little hut   She collected sea shells every day   Every night, they'd share a cigarette   But the ancient, angry Gods got in the way      Leilani, don't go to the volcano   (He'd plead)      Katoomba, hey, Macumbah, ho   Umgawah, hey, ho, hey, eh, ah   Leilani, crula, bula, ulladulla, wok, a, tai   Aba, laba, laba, hut      Leilani, nevageta, huta, tera, cota, tile   Aba, laba, laba, hut   Umgawah      Still the young man sits upon the beach   He's staring misty eyed out into space   He's thinking about his girlfriend   (Of late, deceased)   At least her death had purpose, now his life is a waste      Leilani, don't go to the volcano   (He'd beg her)
