Now I've come to the islands to escape what's insane
Mean while everyone smilin' even if it rains
And there's many words for just one state
In Hawaiian, Portuguese, n' Japanese n' local way
Then you meet these happy people and you hear them 
speak
It may sound like somethin' simple but it really is 
unique

So hey bra' what's da kine (what's da kine)
Its the words you use all the time
As simple as saimin
Its a word that means just about everything
When da kine (now's da kine)
Who da kine (you da kine)
What da kine (I don't know)
Where da kine
Da kine is da kine and that's da kine
Its that word that's on your mind
For its hey hey hey
These are Hawaiians, hey hey hey
There no one is da kine, hey hey hey
When it comes today, hey hey hey
A small da kine way

So here we are in the best of all nations
Where the back of our sause gave our world a 
destination
And here you'll learn to talk story with a special word
In between the pigeon and for what da kine is what we 
serve

Hey bra' what's da kine (what's da kine)
Its the word you use all the time
As simple as saimin
Its a word that means just about everything
When da kine (now's da kine)
Who da kine (I'm da kine)
What da kine (I don't know)
Where da kine
Da kine is da kine and that's da kine
Its the word that's on your mind
For its hey hey hey
These are Hawaiians, hey hey hey
There no one is da kine, hey hey hey
When it comes today, hey hey hey
A small da kine way

And in my world I like a mixed plate
Gonna coconut while its about where they stay
Well you'll never know about this
Until one local say and what he says this

Hey bra' what's da kine (when's da kine) 
Its a word we use all the time
Hey bra' what's da kine (who's da kine)
Its a word we use all the time
Hey bra' what's da kine (what's da kine)
Its a word we use all the time
Hey bra' what's da kine (where da kine)
Its a word we use all the time
When da kine (now's da kine)
Who da kine (she's da kine)
What da kine (what da kine)
Where da kine 
Da kine is da kine and that's da kine
Its the word that's on your mind
For its hey hey hey
For its hey hey hey
These are Hawaiians, hey hey hey

There no one is da kine, hey hey hey
When it comes today, hey hey hey
A small da kine way
