From the Ukulele Ike (Cliff Edwards) Collection
MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KE-A-LA-KE-KUA, HAWAII
Words & Music by:
Bill Cogswell, Tommy Harrison & Johnny Noble
I wanna go back to my Little Grass Shack
In Ke-a-la-ke-kua, Hawaii
I want to be with all the ka-nes
and wa-hi-nes that I knew long ago
I can hear old guitars a playing
on the beach at ho-o-nau-nau
I can hear the Hawaiians saying
Ko-mo-mai no ka-u-a i-ka
ha-le we-la-ka-hao
It won't be long 'til my ship
will be sailing back to Ko-na
A grand old place that's always fair to see
I'm just a little Hawaiian
and a homesick Inland boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi
I want to go back to My Little Grass Shack
In Ke-a-la-ke-kua, Hawaii
Where the Hu-mu-hu-mu,
Nu-ku-nu-ku a pu-a-a goes swiming by
Where the Hu-mu-hu-mu,
Nu-ku-nu-ku a pu-a-a goes swimming by.^^
