Harm van Sleen - I've Never Seen Hawaii Lyrics

I've never seen Hawaii
It's calling out to me
Bananas and poi
For me to enjoy
With my ukulele on my knee
Do the hula dance forever
Play my frypan steel all day
While the humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Swims in the Hilo bay
The new world's growing old so quickly
An old world might be new to me
Far from the roar of judgemental bores
To that paradise across the sea
But if I had to leave my country
And my loved ones, I would cry
So I close my eyes
And without sad goodbyes
I reach the shores of old Hawaii
