On the island of Maui
Far from Waikiki
There's a place called Hana
That is heavenly

And when you go there
You've got to see
The Hasegawa General Store

As you walk through the doorway
What a great surprise
There's a wonderful
Variety of merchandise

It's all spread out there
Before your eyes
At the Hasegawa General Store

They've got a baseball hat
A paniolo hat
Sunburn creams
And the latest magazines
Muu muus, mangos and ukuleles too
And even hamburger for a malahini like you

They say a cheerful 'aloha' when you first go by
And a sweet 'mahalo nui' when you say 'bye-bye'
You can't resist it, once you try
The Hasegawa General Store

You've gotta walk very slowly
As your tour begins
Through those pineapples, cereals and bobby pins
Spears and goggles and swimming fins
At the Hasegawa General Store

Now if you want to lama lama
They've got kerosene
If you want to lomi lomi
They've got rubbing cream
Some guava jelly that's just supreme
At the Hasegawa General Store

They've got kukui nuts
Assorted cold cuts
Surfer's pants
And papaya plants
A shiny koa calabash
To catch your eye
Some okolehao
When your throat gets dry

So if you're ever in Hana
With some time to spare
You've got to holo holo
Down to you-know-where

You just name it
They've got it there
At the Hasegawa General Store
