Leilani - Remaster 2005

Lyrics

Somewhere on a South Pacific island
 Sits a young man staring at the surf
 His native girlfriend died a death quite violent
 A tribal sacrifice made to the Earth
 She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue
 A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name
 She and her young man made a handsome two
 But lava tore them both apart again.
 He'd say, Leilani, don't go to the volcano
 He'd say, please don't go to the volcano
 They were saving for a little hut
 He collected sea shells every day
 Every night they'd share a cigarette
 But the ancient, angry gods got in the way
 He'd say, Leilani, don't go to the volcano
 He would plead, please don't go, I'll miss you so
 Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!
 Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!
 Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!
 Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
 Hey! Ho! Hey-eh! Ah
 Leilani crula-bula-ulladulla-wok-a-tai
 Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!
 Leilani nevageta-huta-tera-cota-tile
 Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!
 Umgawah!
 Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
 Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
 Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
 Ah Ah
 Still the young man sits there on the beach
 He's staring misty-eyed out into space
 He's thinking about his girlfriend, of late deceased
 At least her death had purpose, his life is a waste
 Hey, his life is a waste
 Please don't go, I love you, I love you, I love you so
