Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki huki hukilau
Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki huki hukilau
We throw our nets right into the sea
And all the amaama come-a swimming to me
Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki hukilau

What a wonderful day for fishing
The old Hawaiian way
What a wonderful day for swimming
Down in Honolulu Bay

Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki huki hukilau
Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki huki hukilau
We throw our nets right into the sea
And all the amaama come-a swimming to me
Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki hukilau

Ha ha ha ha ha!
I'm so happy
The huki huki hukilau
Oh, we're going (come along!) to the hukilau
We throw our nets right into the sea
All the amaama come-a swimming with me
Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki hukilau

What a wonderful day for dreaming
In old Honolulu Bay
What a wonderful day for swimming
And dreaming your cares away

Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki huki hukilau
Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki huki hukilau
We throw our nets into the sea
And all the amaama come-a swimming with me
Oh, we're going to the hukilau
The huki huki huki hukilau
The huki huki huki hukilau
