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
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (He'd say)
They were saving for a little hut She collected sea shells every day Every night, they'd share a cigarette But the ancient, angry Gods got in the way
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (He'd plead)
Katoomba, hey, Macumbah, ho Umgawah, hey, ho, hey, eh, ah Leilani, crula, bula, ulladulla, wok, a, tai Aba, laba, laba, hut
Leilani, nevageta, huta, tera, cota, tile Aba, laba, laba, hut Umgawah
Still the young man sits upon 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, now his life is a waste
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (He'd beg her)
