I wanna go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
I wanna be with all the kanes and wahines
That I knew long ago

I can hear the old guitars a-playing
On the beach at Ho'onaunau
I can hear the old Hawaiian saying
'Komo mai no kaua ika hale welakahao'

It won't be long 'til my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see
I'm just a little Hawaiian and I miss my island boy
I wanna go back to my fish and poi

I wanna go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by

It won't be long 'til my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see
I'm just a little Hawaiian and I miss my island boy
I wanna go back to my fish and poi

I wanna go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
