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 are playing   On the beach at Honaunau   I can hear Hawaiians saying   Komo mai no kaua 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   I'm just a little lonely for Hawaiian 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 humuhumunukunukuapuaa   Go swimming by   Bye-bye
