HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA'A - Original Version

A long time ago in a land far away
Lived the pineapple princess Tiki
She was sweet as a peach in a pineapple way
But so sad that she hardly speaky

Still if you listen well
You'll hear her secret wish
Aloha, everybody my name is Tiki
I long to free a truly remarkable fish
My sweet prince

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Makihiki malahini, who
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, ooh
Hawana waka waka waka niki, poo, poo, poo

Ryan, the fog

She dreams of a boy who is under a spell
That has left him all wet and scaly
I sing from my heart with the power of love
Just a girl with a ukulele

Come to me my sweet one and be still
I'll grasp your tail and stroke each tender gill
My sweet prince

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Makihiki malahini, who
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, ooh
Hawana waka waka waka niki, poo, poo, poo

Now this is where we lean into the whole kabuki thing

The clouds turned grey and the big sky cried
And the ocean had a fit
Ryan, wheres my ocean?
Then the wind went whoosh and thunder cracked
And mighty Mount Fufu spit, mighty Mount Fufu, spit

T-t-tiki, T-t-tiki, wanna speaky, speaky, speaky
With the mighty spirit Fufu
T-t-tiki, T-t-tiki, wanna speaky, speaky, speaky
So words I will not mince
Please make a man of my fresh fish prince

This is real fish talk, no lie

And then the fish turns into a gorgeous prince and sings

I'm Prince Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Amakahiki malahini, who
With me, humumunukunukuapua'a, ooh
Hawana waka waka waka niki, poo, poo, poo

Everybody!
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Makihiki malahini, who
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, ooh
Hawana waka waka waka niki, poo, poo, poo
Waka waka waka niki, poo, poo, poo

Waka waka waka niki, poo, poo, poo
