Leilani lyrics

Artist  : Hoodoo Gurus 
Song : Leilani



 Send "Leilani" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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.

Everynight they'd
share a cigarette

But The ancient, angry
gods got in the way. 



Leilani, don't
go to the volcano (he'd plead). 



(CEREMONY:) 

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)
