Somewhere on a South Pacific island

Sits a young man staring at the surf

His native girlfriend died a death quite violent

A tribal sacrifice made to the Earth

She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue

A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name

She and her young man made a handsome two

But lava tore them both apart again.

He'd say, Leilani, don't go to the volcano

He'd say, please don't go to the volcano

They were saving for a little hut

He collected sea shells every day

Every night they'd share a cigarette

But the ancient, angry gods got in the way

He'd say, Leilani, don't go to the volcano

He would plead, please don't go, I'll miss you so

Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!

Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!

Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!

Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!

Hey! Ho! Hey-eh! Ah

Leilani crula-bula-ulladulla-wok-a-tai

Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!

Leilani nevageta-huta-tera-cota-tile

Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!

Umgawah!

Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!

Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!

Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!

Ah Ah

Still the young man sits there on the beach

He's staring misty-eyed out into space

He's thinking about his girlfriend, of late deceased

At least her death had purpose, his life is a waste

Hey, his life is a waste

Please don't go, I love you, I love you, I love you so
