I was sitting at a table on an open bay Waiting for drink of rum When i asked my waiter for the time of day She said look out there's a centipede coming your way [Chorus:] In lahaina, the sugar kane grow In lahaina, the living is slow In lahaina, the mangos are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet I was lying by the water in the morning Sunshaded by a coconut tree When i turned around it was all i could see There was great big centipede staring at me [Chorus] I had only just a second to decide what to do While looking at his poisonous fangs When i said i thought it was a beautiful day He said 'wow mr hall i think your pushing my leg [Chorus]
