The Honolulu Boy

COCOANUT milk and poi, Cocoanut curds and fish, For the Honolulu boy,-- What more could a baby wish?

Taro and yams and chicken,-- Baby shall have a feast,-- Bones of the pig for pickin’, Fat little face well greased!

A sleep in the house of grasses, A swim in the cool lagoon, A kiss as the trade wind passes, And a low Kanaka tune!
