Molokaʻi Slide Songtext
von Ehukai

I like the sand spreading out to the sea
I like the tropical moon and the lazy palm trees
I like to listen to my heart
There′s no place I'd rather be

I like the people, I like the way they smile
I like the feeling of you on this paradise isle
I like the cool island gecko
Man, this is where I wanna be

Take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
Take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
All over, mo′ betta, Moloka'i I will return

Take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
Take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
All over, mo' betta, Moloka′i I will return


I like the gecko singing in the night
I like to do the dance they do to the Moloka′i Slide
When the sun comes up shining
Always mo' better the kine

I like to hula
I think it′s really good
Woman I don't understand the words
But in time, I think I could, if I just had the time
Oh, if I just had the time

I say a won′t you come along, we'll have a lu′au by the sea
We'll cook a little pig and all the coconuts are free
And what you see is what you get in a little grass shack
I know you're gonna like it and I hope that you come back

I like the fishes swimming around in the sea
I like to hop ′em on the grill
And cook ′em up for me, with a big pan of butter
Man, it can't get better than this, no, no, no

I like the chicken
We hop ′em on the grill
Man it hurts to eat some raw fish
And eat up all the spills
Oh well, oh yeah
It's just a luau down by the sea


So take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
Take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
All over, mo′ betta, Moloka'i I will return

You′ll be crying, take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
Take me back (take me back)
Back to the kine
All over, mo' betta, Molo-, hey, I will return
All over, mo' betta, Moloka′i I will return
All over, mo′ betta, Moloka'i I will return
Oh yeah, all over, mo′ betta, Moloka'i I will return
