Now listen to my story of a lad that I once knew
Well he didn't gain fame or glory--but I know you'd like him too
He's a poi eatin' lad
And listen girls he can't be had you see
He's a brown kanaka from the beach at Waikiki
He can ride the surf all day
Just to chase his blues away you see
He's a brown kanaka from the beach at Waikiki
He's a beach boy you see
And as happy as he'd ever be
He's a brown kanaka from the beach at Waikiki
When he plays the uke they say
All the wahines seem to swoon and sway
He's a brown kanaka from the beach at Waikiki
He can swim in the wai
And he's really mai kai they say
He's a brown kanaka from the beach at Waikiki
Haina la Mai
Ana kapuna la I'll say
He's a brown kanaka from the beach at Waikiki
