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, therešs 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

Chorus:

Take me back. Back to da kine. Take me back. Back to da kine

All over, mo` betta, Moloka'i I will return
(Repeat)

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`
betta da kine

I like to hula, I think itšs 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

Wešll 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 round in the sea, I like to hop 'um
on the grill,

and cook 'um up for me, with a big pan of butter, man it can't
get better than this

I like the chicken, we hop 'um on the grill, man it hurts to eat
the raw fish

and eat up all the spills. Oh well, oh yeah. Itšs just a luau down
by the sea.

(Chorus)

All over. Mo betta, Moloka`i I will return
