Ah, what a beautiful day to go fishin'
The old Hawaiian way 
And the hukilau nets were swishin'
Down in old L'ie Bay 

Oh we're goin' to a hukilau 
Huki-huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau 
Everybody loves the hukilau 
Where the laulau is the kaukau at the l'au 

Oh we throw our nets out into the sea 
And all the 'ama'ama come a-swimmin' to me 
Oh, we're goin' to the hukilau 
Huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau

Oh we're goin' to the hukilau 
Huki-huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau 
Everybody loves the hukilau 
Where the laulau is the kaukau at the great l'au 

Oh we throw our net out into the sea 
And all the 'ama'ama come a-swimmin' to me 
Oh, we're goin' to the hukilau 
Huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau
Huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau
Huki-huki, hu-uki-huki, hukilau-au...
