Hoodoo Gurus - Leilani Lyrics

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

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)
