I ATE IT AND AT ONCE MY EYES COULD SEE YOU,
NO SOONER HAD I OOPED IT DOWN,
I FELT SO FAR OFF FROM THE GROUND I STOOD ON.
MY LEGS THEY SEEMED TO ME LIKE HIGH RISE BUILDINGS,
MY HEAD WAS HIGH UP THE SKY,
MY SKIN THE SUN BEGAN TO FRY LIKE BACON.
AND THEN SOMEBODY OLD APPEARED
AND ASK HAD I COME FAR,
AND HADN'T THEY JUST SEEN ME UP ON HALEAKALA, YEH?
KEPT ON BODY SURFING TO PRETEND I HADN'T HEARD,
THERE WAS SOMEBODY THERE BESIDE ME
SWIMMING LIKE RICHARD THE THIRD.
I'M STILL SMILING, (I'm still smiling) SMILING.
SEVEN NAKED, NATIVE GIRLS,
SWAM SEVEN SACRED POOLS,
LONE RANGER SMOKING DOOBIES SAID,
"YOU'RE BREAKING ALL THE RULES,
YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR CLOTHES ON
OR ELSE THERE'LL BE A ROW,
IF IT WASN'T FOR MY SUNSTROKE,
I WOULD TAKE YOU ON RIGHT NOW."
I'M STILL SMILING, (I'm still smiling)
I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY SOFT-HEARTED HANA,
SHE ENTERED RIGHT IN THROUGH MY HEART,
AND NOW ALTHOUGH WE'RE MILES APART,
I STILL FEEL HER.
SHE LIVES BENEATH THE CRATER IN A MEADOW,
SHE GROWS AMONG THE FRUIT AND GRAIN,
YOU CAN MEET HER AFTER HEAVY RAIN HAS FALLEN.
