Oh, love and Aloha wait me, land where oceans are crystal green.
Flying over the great Pacific, leaving mainland behind…
Oh, love and Aloha wait me, land where oceans are crystal green.
The Spirit calls and she greets me warmly; comfort and peace of mind.
Oh, peace and Aloha wait me. A dreamlike scene is always seen.
Rest my bones on a sun-drenched sand scene.
Oceans glow ever crystal green

Angela and me on the Waikiki.
What a sight to see! Oh wa, ah oh.
It’s summer everyday, the summer’s here to stay.
Walkin’ every day on the Hanauma bay.
Soakin’ in the rays, oh wa ah oh.
Some are here to play and some are here to stay, oh wa ah oh.
My baby and me on the Waikiki, what a sight to see! oh wa ah oh.
It’s summer everyday. Summer’s here to stay! Oh wa ah oh.

The Thieves of Kailua
04:56

All the thieves of Kailua broke the handle and stole my camera.
Hanging photos of me an’ Angela on the walls of their cabanas.
Those old thieves of Kailua, I’ve seen smarter, there’ve been smoother
Taking things they don’t belong to from the tourists of Oahu.
…all of the sudden the thieves are on their getaway… (Hear the sirens wail far away.)
All of the sadness; they took my baby’s bag away. (Call the island gun!)
Sister’s anger, brother’s mellow. Short with slight build, younger fellow.
And I know I look like the purist tourist, look at my skin so white.
To the thieves of the island: I ain’t no native, but that don’t make it right!
I tell you the police, they ain’t much better despite their badges of blue.
They take a’me number, my name and they slumber on the beaches of ocean blue.
All the thieves of Kailua, I’ve seen smarter and there’ve been smoother.
Gods are wonderin’, “Where’d the love go?”
Thieves be runnin. Where’d that thug go?
Oh, dreams come true though. The thieves got caught and put away.
Now I live to say… Got my camera, got my Angela.
Thieves got nothin’ cuz we outran ya.
Everywhere we go is love for you and me to live and die for!

Livin’ in heaven away from it all, you got a picture perfect view ‘round every bend.
80 degrees and it rains everyday, you’re livin’ lovely all your woes are on the mend.
J: All there’s time to do is sit and dream of her.
A: and I’ll dream of him too
J: Two are sharing one and under setting sun.
Oh I, I’m fallin’ in love!
I found me a goldmine on this sunny morn and I been looking since the day that I was born.
You getcha some love. If it get’s taken away, I say “why don’t you go right out and get some more!”
J: All I want to do is sit and think of her
A: and I’ll think of him too
J: Two are sharing one and under setting sun.
Oh I, I’m fallin’ in love!
And all I really wanna say, is getcha some love today.
Oh I, I’m fallin’ in love!

Age Is in Ya Head!
01:48

Hey ya’ll. Age is in ya head!
You save up all you pennies ‘til the day ye dead.
Hey ya’ll. Life is for the takin’!
Me say it real loud so they’ll be no mistakin’.
Parts are warm parts are cold. Hearts are torn between young and old.
With a gang of cheers and the joy of tears, youth she finds me despite my years.
I was told one time by a friend of mine who had a little scuffle with the Father Time,
“Please don’t mind, you’re doin’ just fine. Like a lemon or a lime you’re ripe on the vine.”
A scary little story ‘bout a boy named Jack. He grew up too quick and now he won’t come back.
We tried to find him but guess what we found? His mind was six feet under de’ ground.

Yeah man, I’ll play you a song. travel all roun the world
Me travel left to right. Me see a lot of sight.
Me fly around the world, Me meet a lot of girl.
Of all the little lady that come and sit next to me.
Oh you the only lady that do what just you do me.
Me go out on the town. Me jump and play around.
Me listen to the sound. Me act just like a clown.
When time to rest my head down, me say this now quite truly.
Oh you the only baby that do what just you do me.

Hawaii She Calls
02:48
|
|||
|
We’ve traveled all this way, so I might as well stay right here with you little darlin’.
It breaks my heart to say, “lets pack and go away” from here with you little darlin’.
You and I alone, can we make waste of our cell phones?
No more dial tones! Can we make this palm tree our home?
Hawaii, She called me across ocean blue. She told me I’m best off to stay here with you.
I guess I’ll start a band. We’ll play here in the sand so we can walk to the ocean.
And you can tie up bows and sew us island clothes so we can dance loco-motion.
I can call my mom. She can help decorate our palm.
You can call your dad. Ask him to build our bamboo pad.
Hawaii, She called me across ocean blue. She told me I’m best off to stay here with you.

Bit Of Sunshine
02:47
|

|
I took a boat on the ocean breeze, I didn’t wait for a minute.
I took a splash in the ocean of green.
And on the boat were all of my friends, we had the time of a lifetime.
No stops ‘til the good times end.
I’ll take a little bit of sunshine and a little bit of shade.
And give a little bit of love to all the friends we made.
I’ll take a little bit of sea-spray and a fishin’ in the sea.
And give a little bit of love to all the friends we meet.
He had a girl and she did him all wrong so he fell back on a brother.
And that’s why we’re singin’ this song.
And now the time, no, it won’t be long.
Ya bounce back, find another, and join hands just singin’ along.
I’ll take a little bit of sunshine and a little bit of heart.
And give a little bit of love for all the dreams we start.
I’ll take a little bit of sea-spray and a fishin’ in the sea.
And give a little bit of love to all the friends we meet.
I took a boat on the ocean breeze, I didn’t wait for a minute…
