Lyrics
He wore a malo and a coconut hat
One was for this and the other for that
And the people shouted as he went by
He was the cock-eyed mayor of Kanaka Kai
He was just a lazy malahini hawele boy
All the girls were crazy to share his fish and poi
He wore a lei and he wore a smile
He drank a gallon of oak to make life worthwhile
Then he made 'em laugh 'til he made 'em cry
He was the cockeyed mayor of Kanaka Kai
The horse he rode was skinny
A broken down old female
So he placed a green pฤnini
Right under the horse's tail
Oh, he made her buck and he made her fly
All over the island of Molokai
You could hear the kanes and wahines cheer
As they gave him a lei of kikฤnas
Now you've heard my story
'Bout the mayor of Kanaka Kai
All his fame and glory
On the island of Molokai
Oh, he wore a malo and a coconut hat
One was for this and the other for that
And the people shouted as he went by
He was the cockeyed mayor of Kanaka Kai
Whenever anybody goes from the island
He's there to say, "Fare thee well"
He says, "Aloha-ho-ha-ho-ha-ho"
He's always sorry to see them go
He wore a lei and he wore a smile
He drank a gallon of oak to make life worthwhile
Then he made 'em laugh 'til he made 'em cry
He was the cockeyed mayor of Kanaka Kai
He was just a lazy malahini hawele boy
All the girls were crazy to share his fish and poi
They say that he treats 'em well and what everybody knows
He throws 'em a kiss and then he throws 'em a rose
He signs his pictures for them one and all
And he gives them the keys to City Hall
