{huki = pull -- lau = leaves}
{leaves line a long net, to help herd fish to the center}
{many people are required to handle the large net and collect the fish}
Huki huki huki huki hukilau 
Huki huki huki huki 
Huki huki huki huki 
Huki huki huki huki... 
Oh we're goin' to the hukilau
Huki huki huki huki huki hukilau
Everybody loves a hukilau
Where the laulau {fish wrapped in a Luau leaf} 
is your kaukau {to eat} at the hukilau
Oh, we throw the nets out into the sea
And all the 'ama'ama {the Mullet fish} come a swimmin' to me
Oh we're goin' to the hukilau
Huki huki huki huki hukilau
[Huki huki huki huki hukilau]
[Hukilau]
Oh we're goin' to the hukilau
Huki huki huki huki huki hukilau
There is romance 'neath Hawaiian skies
Where the lovely hula hula maidens roll their eyes
[While the silvery moon is shining above]
[The kane's and wahini's sing a song about love]
Paridise now, at the hukilau
[Huki huki huki huki huki hukilau]
[Huki huki huki huki huki hukilau]
[Huki hukilau]
