Sheet Music: Hyphen-8 Co., Honolulu
Despite the title, the song is about the famous Tahitian Lanai, now gone, where pianist Ron Miyahiro led
a group of regulars in song every night. He--and they--now hold forth occasionally at La Mariana
Sailing Club.
Across the alley from the Ilikai
There's a tavern
And I can't deny
It's like home away from home to me
There beside a blue lagoon we knew
Be it morning, noon, or nitetime too
You will find me
Underneath a coconut tree
Follow the sound of a happy song
Follow the pathway
You can't go wrong
'Round the piano bar, how time goes by
Ia o ra na my friend
And aloha 'til we meet again
'Til we meet again
At the Tahitian Lanai
