hoodoo gurus – leilani lyrics
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 sh-lls 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! mac-mbah ho! umgawah!
katoomba hey! mac-mbah ho! umgawah!
katoomba hey! mac-mbah 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 sp-ce
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
