No, that's NOT it, it's supposed to mention fronds or such. Mmmmm...maybe--

Treacherous ice and winter gales, we've left them far astern
And the native maids in their island glades is a-waiting our return
Even now their big black eyes look out hoping one fine day to see
Our baggy sails running 'fore the gales
Rollin' down to old Maui!
