hoodoo gurus – leilani (single version) lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[chorus, condensed]
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
(whoa-oh)
[verse 2]
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
[chorus]
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
“hey, leilani, don’t go to the volcano” (whoa-oh)
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
he’d say, “leilani, don’t go to the volcano” (whoa-oh)
[verse 3]
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
[chorus]
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
he’d say, “leilani, don’t go to the volcano” (whoa-oh)
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
he would plead, “don’t go, to the volcano” (whoa-oh)
[bridge]

(aba-laba-laba hut! aba-laba-laba hut!)
umgawah
hey! ho! hey!

[verse 4]
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
[chorus]
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
he’d say, “leilani, don’t go to the volcano” (whoa-oh)
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
he’d plead, “don’t go, to the volcano” (whoa-oh)
[chorus]
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
she to him was to be wed (whoa-oh)
she chose a mountain god instead
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
“listen, leilani, come on down (whoa-oh)
i know there is no-one around
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
oh-oh, oh-oh
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh) oh-oh-oh-no
gone, gone, gone, gone (whoa-oh)
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
