First you `ai some fish and poi,
Pipikaula and some moi
Then you have some `okolehao,
You’re at a lû`au now

Then you taste kalua pig,
`Ina wana, limu too
`Inamona and haupia
You’re at a lû`au now

The poi is `ula`ula kamanu is too
And laulau tastes so good to you
`Alamihi and `opihi is always okay
The chicken and the laiki loloa

The hula girlies dance for you
Kanes and wahines too
In the true Hawaiian style,
You`re at a lû`au now
