Hoodoo Gurus

Somewhere on a South Pacific island<br /> Sits a young man staring at the surf.<br /> His native girlfriend died a death quite violent<br /> A tribal sacrifice made to the earth.She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue.<br /> A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name.<br /> She and her young man made a handsome two<br /> But lava tore them both apart again.Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd say).They were saving for a little hut,<br /> She collected sea-shells every day.<br /> Everynight they'd share a cigarette<br /> But The ancient, angry gods got in the way.Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd plead).(CEREMONY:)<br /> Katoomba, Hey! Macumbah, Ho!<br /> Umgawah! Hey! Ho! Hey-eh! Ah...<br /> Leilani - crula-bula-ulladulla-wok-a-tai<br /> Aba-laba-laba, Hut!Leilani-nevageta-huta-tera-cota-tile<br /> Aba-laba-laba Hut!<br /> Umgawah!!!Still the young man sits upon the beach,<br /> He's staring misty-eyed out into space.<br /> He's thinking about his girlfriend (of late, deceased),<br /> At least her death had purpose; now his life is a waste!<br /> Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd beg her)<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> FAULKNER, DAVID/RADALJ, RODNEY/BAKER, JAMES/RENDALL, KIMBLEPublished by<br /> Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLCLyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>
