Intro
Oh oh oh
Heia
(Hu!)
Verse 1
Back before the resorts and the breakfast buffet
Pele grabbed a torch and she wanted to play
Little sis had a temper like a burning match
Trying to find a patch of dirt that she could snatch
Pre-Chorus
But Big Sister was salty
Yeah Big Sister was soaked
Watching all the islands getting steamed and smoked
Namaka said enough with the lava flow
Now go below
Deep below
Right now go
Chorus
She caught her at the shore
She caught her at the shore
Wai and ahi fighting for the kitchen floor
A whole lot of steam
A whole lot of steam
Creating the aina just like a dream
I’m tellin’ ya it’s Pele vs Namaka
Fighting like a bunch of lolo pupule akua
Pele vs Namaka
Post-Chorus
La la la
Haʻakei
Pihā
La la la
Verse 2
Kua’ana chasing down that fireball girl
From Kaua'i down to Maui in a watery swirl
Pele threw a rock but it cooled too fast
Now she's at the volcano making it last
Pre-Chorus
Ho'ā i ke ahi
Watch the waves crash down
Moving the family to another town
Namaka got the blues
Namaka got the blues
Win or lose
Take your shoes
Win or lose
Chorus
She caught her at the shore
She caught her at the shore
Wai and ahi fighting for the kitchen floor
A whole lot of steam
A whole lot of steam
Creating the aina just like a dream
I’m tellin’ ya it’s Pele vs Namaka
Fighting like a bunch of lolo pupule akua
Pele vs Namaka
Post-Chorus
La la la
Haʻakei
Pihā
La la la
Bridge
They fought through the reef
They fought through the trees
Sizzling siblings in the ocean breeze
Haleakalā wasn't high enough
When the ocean starts acting tough
Chorus
She caught her at the shore
She caught her at the shore
Wai and ahi fighting for the kitchen floor
A whole lot of steam
A whole lot of steam
Creating the aina just like a dream
I’m tellin’ ya it’s Pele vs Namaka
Fighting like a bunch of lolo pupule akua
Pele vs Namaka
Verse 3
Well Laka saw the fight and she started to sway
Saying sisters let the anger just wash away
She grabbed a green leaf and a bit of some vine
Told the girls it’s time to move in a line
Pre-Chorus
Nana i ke kumu
Keep your knees real low
Pele stop the shouting and let it go
Hula is the medicine for the divine
Doing fine
Sun will shine
Doing fine
Bridge 2
Kuaʻāpapa and the hips go round
Keeping those feet on the newly made ground
Namaka stopped splashing
Pele stopped the flare
Just a bunch of tropical flowers in their hair
Chorus
They met at the shore
They met at the shore
Not a single goddess fighting anymore
A whole lot of grace
A whole lot of grace
Putting a smile on every face
I’m tellin’ ya it’s Pele and Namaka
Hula-ing away like some happy akua
Pele and Namaka
Outro
(Talkbox solo)
Hele on now
Mālamalama
Aloha no
Pele and Namaka
A hui hou
(Hu!)
