I was just cooking in da kitchen today and suddenly da words to one song we used to sing as keeds wen pop into my mind from out of da blue. Got me to thinking, I wonder what ones errybody else wen grow up wit?
Heah mines one:
Coconut Willie, lives in a tree,
Plenny pupule, is easy to see
All da malihini think he's a king
Dey come to Waikīkī
To see his ‘ōpū swing.
Now Willie learned to shake his ‘ōpū
At da very tender age of two
His Uncle Laulau
And his Auntie Pinau
Taught him how to do it at his baby lu‘au.
