Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up by the shoreline
Washed away the sleep with a saltwater splash
Feeling lazy
Salty breeze across the porch
[Pre-Chorus]
No shoes needed today
Just the sand
Just the surf
Just the sun
[Chorus]
A hui hou means later on
Living in the aloha way
A hui hou means later on
Island rhythm won't go away
Steady
Steady
Keep it moving steady
[Verse 2]
Pineapple slices on a chipped plate
Found a green turtle swimming by the coral shelf
Bright day
Red hibiscus in her hair
[Pre-Chorus]
No shoes needed today
Just the sand
Just the surf
Just the sun
[Chorus]
A hui hou means later on
Living in the aloha way
A hui hou means later on
Island rhythm won't go away
Steady
Steady
Keep it moving steady
[Bridge]
ʻO ka pua o ka makani
Hula lana malie
E aloha e
E aloha e
The mountains watching over us
The valley stays green
I stay
You stay
We stay
[Chorus]
A hui hou means later on
Living in the aloha way
A hui hou means later on
Island rhythm won't go away
Steady
Steady
Keep it moving steady
[Verse 3]
Stringing up the nylon on the fretboard
Cousins bringing over several pans of poi
Big crowd
Ukulele playing loud
[Pre-Chorus]
No shoes needed today
Just the sand
Just the surf
Just the sun
[Chorus]
A hui hou means later on
Living in the aloha way
A hui hou means later on
Island rhythm won't go away
Steady
Steady
Keep it moving steady
[Verse 4]
He nani kela mau pali
Me ke kai polū nō
Laki au
Laki kakou ma ʻaneʻi
[Chorus]
A hui hou means later on
Living in the aloha way
A hui hou means later on
Island rhythm won't go away
Steady
Steady
Keep it moving steady
[Bridge]
Hele mai
Hele mai
Kamaʻaina knows the secret spots
Past the highway
Through the brush
Past the valley
Through the rain
Pure life
Clean life
Simple life
[Chorus]
A hui hou means later on
Living in the aloha way
A hui hou means later on
Island rhythm won't go away
Steady
Steady
Keep it moving steady
