Intro: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do; Do Do Do Do Do, Do. (2 times)
I was sitting at a table in an open cafe
Waiting for a drink of run
When I asked the waiter for the time of day he said,
“Lookout, there’s a centipede coming your way.”
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grows
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet
But the centipede crawls all over your feet.
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do; Do Do Do Do Do, Do. (2 times)
I was laying by the water in the morning sun
Shaded by a coconut tree
When I turned around it was all I could see
There was a great big centipede staring at me.
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grows
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet
But the centipede crawls all over your feet.
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do; Do Do Do Do Do, Do. (2 times)
I had only a minute to decide what to do
While looking at his poisonous fangs
When I said, “I thought it was a beautiful day,” he said,
“Lookout, mister haole man you’re pulling my leg.”
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grows
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet
But the centipede crawls all over your feet.
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do; Do Do Do Do Do, Do. (2 times)
