Hoodoo Gurus - Leilani lyrics

Somewhere on a South Pacific island Sits a young man staring at the surf His native girlfriend died a d**h quite violent In 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 She collected sea shells every day And 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, the late deceased At least her d**h had purpose, his life is a waste And his life is a waste Please don't go, I love you, I love you, I love you so She said she wants to be wed, She chose a mountain god instead Now listen, Leilani, I can't stand this carrying on around Better come on down from that mound You know that ain't no sacred ground Listen, please! Oh oh, oh oh She's gone, gone, gone, gone Wake-waka-waka-wake.... Unh!
