I'm blessed to be a local boy,
Growin' up in the countryside.
I learned to surf when I was two,
When uncle took me for a ride.
And he gave me a lot of tough love,
Aloha* spirit, and god above.
I've got a life that I enjoy,
'Cause I'm a local boy.
[CHORUS]
I'm a local boy,
I live the island life,
Coconuts in the trees.
I'm a local boy,
With Mile and Davie,
And a cool calm and cunning breeze.
Aloha, surfed up, local style,
No matter where I go.
These islands always bring me joy,
When I come back home,
'Cause I'm a local boy.
Born and raised on Mākaha Beach†,
The ocean's in my blood.
A little pigeon in my speech,
I like the local bird.
I like beautiful wahines‡,
Hangin' out in their bikinis,
At dinner time it's whiskey and port,
'Cause I'm a local boy.
[CHORUS] x2
(That's right. I'm a local boy. I'm a local boy. Aloha, everybody.)
I'm a local boy.
*Aloha means "hello" or "goodbye" in Hawaiian.
†Mākaha Beach is an area on the east coast of the largest Hawaiian island, O'ahu.
‡A wahine is "woman" in Hawaiian.
