Kamehameha Schools Children’s Chorus
[Intro]
Aloha ē, aloha ē
Aloha ē, aloha ē
ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē
ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē
Aloha ē, aloha ē
Aloha ē, aloha ē
ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē
ʻAnoʻai ke aloha ē
[Chorus 1]
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And if I had one wish come true,
I’d surf ’til the sun sets beyond the horizon
ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu
Flying by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride
[Verse 1]
ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu
Piʻi nā nalu lā lahalaha
ʻO ka moana hānupanupa
Lalala i ka lā hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka puʻe one
Hele, hele mai kākou ē
Hawaiian roller coaster ride
[Chorus 2]
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than on the seashore, dry, wet, free
On golden sand is where I lay
And if I only had my way,
I’d play ’til the sun sets beyond the horizon
Lalala i kala hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka puʻe one
It’s time to try the Hawaiian roller coaster ride
[Verse 2]
Hang loose, hang ten, howzit, shake a shaka
No worry, no fear, ain’t no biggie, braddah
Cuttin’ in, cuttin’ up, cuttin’ back, cuttin’ out
Frontside, backside, goofy footed, wipe out
Let’s get jumpin’, surf’s up, and pumpin’
Coastin’ with the motion of the ocean
Whirlpools swirling, cascading, twirling
Hawaiian roller coaster ride
[Chorus 3]
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And if I had one wish come true,
I’d surf ’til the sun sets beyond the horizon
ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu
Flying by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride
[Outro]
ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu
Piʻi nā nalu lā lahalaha
ʻO ka moana hānupanupa
Lalala i ka lā hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka puʻe one
Hele, hele mai kākou ē
Hawaiian roller coaster ride
