ʻŌlapa ka uila i Kāneʻohe
Ka hui laulima o ʻi Laniwai
*(Ka hui lau lima Hiʻilaniwai)
Hui:
Me ka ua Apuakea
Ka laʻi aʻo Malūlani (Mololani)
Me ka anu o ke Koʻolau
Kaulana mai nei Koʻolaupoko
Ua ʻā ka uila aʻi Kāneʻohe
Hanohano Mōkapu i ka ʻehu kai
Te tua motumotu aʻo He`eia
Hoʻokahi meahou ma Heʻeia
Ka uwea kelekalepa leo nahenahe
Aia ʻike lihi o ka ʻāina
Kahi a ke aloha i walea ai
Walea ana ʻoe me ke onaona
Kuʻu lei hulu mamo pili i ke anu

*alternate stanza
Light flashes at the Kaneohe
Co-operative Society of Laniwai
*Co-operative Society of Hiʻilaniwai
Chorus:
The Apuakea rain
The peace of Malūlani
The coolness of the Koʻolau
Famous is Koʻolaupoko
The lights go on at Kāneʻohe
The glory of Mōkapu is the sea spray
And the jagged ridge of Heʻeia
The news at Heʻeia
Sweet-voiced telegraph wire
Glimpses of the land
Where love finds delight
Delight with the sweet one
My mamo feather lei in the coolness
Delighted by your voice
You ask, "How am I?"
Tell the refrain
The light goes on at Kāneʻohe

E kuʻu morning dew
Alia mai, alia mai
Maliu mai ʻoe
I kaʻu e hea nei
E kali mai ʻoe
Iaʻu nei, iaʻu nei
ʻO wau iho nō
Me ke aloha
Wehe mai ke alaula

I uka o Mānā
I ka ʻiu uhiwai
Ma laila nō kāua
E pili mau ai
Ma laila nō kāua
E pili mau ai
Eddie Kamae
My morning dew
Wait a moment
Pay attention
To what I call out
Wait
For me, for me
I remain yours
With love
Dawn breaks
And the wet dew sparkles
Causing a rosy color
On these cheeks
Up at Mānā
In the mist-shrouded highland
There, you and I
Will remain forever
There, you and I
Will remain forever

Push aside the scrotum, puff, puff
Of this large eel, puff, puff
**Soothe the aggressive eel, puff, puff

Princess Pupule

Princess Poopooly has plenty papayas
And she loves to give it away
Now all of the neighbors they say
Oh mea oh mya
You really should try a little piece
Of the Princess Poopooly's papaya
Princess Poopooly's not truly unruly
To pass out papayas each day
For all of the neighbors they say
She may give the fruit
But she holds on to the root
And so she has the fruit and the root to boot
One bright Sunday afternoon
It was field day in her papaya groves
But I reached the gate an hour too late
The customers were lined up in droves
So let this be a warning
Go early in the morning
And it is true you'll never rue the day
The Princess Poopooly has plenty papayas
And she love to give it away
I mean papaya
She loves to give it away

Chorus:
The sandpiper (tra la la la)
The sandpiper returns (tra la la la)
Sandpiper runs along the beach
Where the sea is peaceful and calm
The sandpiper's voice is soft and sweet
Little bird of the sea foam
Ever watchful on the beaches
Where the sea is calm
The sandpiper's voice is soft and sweet
How is your foreign home? It is fine
A land full of charm
The shells sing their sweet chorus of song

I am going to the island of the valley
To Lahaina, Lahaina Luna
Where the mountains are green you will find me
In Lahaina, Lahaina Luna
Chorus:
They say that Maui nō ka ʻoi and I agree
That Maui nō ka ʻoi is the only place for me
That's where you'll find me, down by the seaside
Watching the moonrise, the twinkling starlight
The morning sunrise, the golden sunset
In Lahaina, Lahaina Luna

There at Heeia
We go surfing on the waves
Tra la la la, tra la la la
Surfing of the crest
Returning on the diagonal wave
Tra la la la, tra la la la
Tis I who criss-crossed
The edge of the shore
Tra la la la, tra la la la
I mistakenly thought
You were in my arms
Tra la la la, tra la la la
I groped in vain
The meshes of the mat
Tra la la la, tra la la la
Shy was the bird
That lives in the uplands
Tra la la la, tra la la la
Tell the refrain of
The over-sized beak of the bird
Tra la la la, tra la la la
The end of my story
In honor of Kaleleonalani

I want to go back to little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaiʻi
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines
That I used to know long ago
I can hear the old guitars playing
On the beach at Hōnaunau
I can hear the old Hawaiians saying
Komo mai no kāua 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, Hawai`i
Where the humuhumunukunukuâpua`a
Go swimming by

Hands on your hips
Do your hula dips
Sophisticated hula
Is the talk of the town
Swing your partners `round
Soon you'll cover ground
Sophisticatd hula

Chorus:
The native hula maidens they love to dance
They do their dance to the beating of drums
And now sophisticated hula's your chance
So do your dance while the melody runs
Dance to the music sweet
Soon you will repeat
Sophisticated hula
Is the talk of the town

When Hilo Hattie does the Hilo Hop
There's not a bit of use for a traffic cop
For everything and everybody comes to a stop
When Hilo Hattie does the Hilo Hop
The sugar raises cane the palms trees sigh
The ukuleles fret and the birds won't fly
The Humuhumunukunukus stop swimming by
When Hilo Hattie does the Hilo Hop
Hui:
That wahine has an opu
With a college education
There's no motion she don't go thru
She doesn't leave a thing to your imagination
Hattie does a dance no law would allow
A crater got a look and it's sizzling now
She'd better watch her step or everything will be pau
When Hilo Hattie does the Hilo Hop
Hui:
They took Hattie to the hoosegow
Hattie went along quite gaily
She said "Oh judge, turn me loose now,
I'll do my dance while you play your ukulele."
Hattie should've died from too much gin
But she will never pay for her life of sin.
St. Peter's gonna take a look and say "come on in"
When Hilo Hattie does the Hilo Hop
When Hilo Hattie does the Hilo Hop

The festive crowd at the mouth of the harbor

Told is
The story
Both of us say goodbye with love

A Kona Hema ʻo ka lani

ʻO ka lani Kaulīlua
At South Kona, the king
Observes Kaʻawaloa
Knows the peace of ʻEhu
Majestic are you, o king
Going to Hawaiʻi
To take care of the districts
In plain view the mountaintops
Seen are the cloud banks
At mid-tide on the sea
On the whispering sea
Speaking of Kawaihae
Stirred by the sudden shower
The wind increases
The sea rises
The sea of Māhukona
The wind named ʻĀpaʻapaʻa
Crowded is Kohala
To the mouth with people
Tell the theme
The royal Kaulīlua

I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer is gone
I'll be lonely, oh so lonely
Living only to remember you
I'll remember too
Your voice as soft as a warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter mornings after
Ever after I'll remember you
Chorus:
To your arms some day
I'll return to stay
'Til then
I will remember too
Every bright star we made wishes upon
Love me always, promise always
You'll remember too
I'll remember you
