Lyrics: My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua Hawaii 
by Bill Cogswell, Tommy Harrison & Johnny Noble
 
I want to go back to little grass shack 
In Kealakekua, Hawaii 
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 Honaunau 
I can hear the old Hawaiians saying 
Komo mai no kaua 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, Hawaii 
Where the humuhumunukunukuapua'a 
Go swimming by 

============================


Oh we're going to a Hookie Lau
A Hookie, Hookie, Hookie, Hookie, Hookie Lau
Everybody loves a Hookie Lau
Where the mau-mau eats the pau-pau at the big luau.
Throw those nets out into the see
And all the oma-oma come swimming to me
Cuz we're going to a Hookie Lau,
A Hookie, Hookie, Hookie, Hookie, Hookie Lau!
