On the island we do it island style
From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side
On the island, we do it island style
From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side
Mama's in the kitchen cooking dinner real nice. Beef stew on the stove, lomi salmon with the ice
We eat and drink and we sing all day Kanikapila in the old Hawaiian way
On the island, we do it island style
From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side.
From the island, we do it island style
From the mountain to the ocean, from the windward to the leeward side.
We go grandma's house on the weekend clean yard If we no go, grandma gotta work hard
You know my grandma, she like the poi real sour I love my grandma every minute, every hour
From the island, we do it island style
From the mountain to the ocean, from the windward to the leeward side
From the island, we do it island style
From the mountain to the ocean, from the windward to the leeward side
