I love a good luau, fine kaukau, pineapple is a joy
But I wouldn't give a fig, I just don't dig that poi
Lomi salmon is great, I clean my plate, flavor it with soy
But I don't go big, just don't dig that poi
The island life is right for me
I think its peachy keen
I enjoy most anything except
You know what I mean
I'm not a fussy guy
Hukilau's maikai
And this here haole boy is crazy for pig
But he don't dig that poi
Had some sukiyaki and a bowl of rice
Ate some teriyaki that was very nice
Oughta see me eat sashimi
Crawfish, raw fish too
Had some mahimahi and a coconut
Ate bananas in a native hut
Oughta see me eat opihi
Amama kawakawa too
Auwe (apu nui nui)
Auwe (it's a doozy doozy)
Auwe (opu nui nui)
Ama ama kawa kawa too
