Luau Feet - by Irmgard Farden Aluli
 
Kane version
 
When I'm walking down the street
People call me luau feet
I don't let that bother me
That would be defeat
 
 
I'm a native island boy
Living on my fish and poi
Ten fat toes that's how it goes
For my luau feet
 
 
I can do a hula
Even walk on rocks
I can climb a coconut tree
All in barefoot style, that's me
I'm as happy as can be
 
 
Shoes don't suit me you can see
Barefoot style is best for me
And my luau feet
And my luau feet
 
Wahine version
 
When I'm walking down the street
People look at my big feet
I don't let that bother me
I have luau feet
 
 
I'm a big wahine e
Wawae nui with a sway
I'm not maha oe, they say
With my luau feet
 
 
I can holo-holo
Even round the isle
I can do most anything
All in barefoot style, that's me
I'm as happy as can be
 
 
High heels, low heels don't suit me
Barefoot style is best for me.
Oh my luau feet
Oh my luau feet
