Intro
Yeah… trade winds blowin', sun sittin' high… Lehua, you feel that heat?
Verse 1
The sun is high, the trade winds blow
I see you watchin' me—yeah, I already know
Thinkin' 'bout the beach, not the daily grind
You got that spark that's been on my mind
That secret spot way down the trail…
…where we never check the mail.
Pre-Chorus
Eh, Lehua, what you gonna do?
Something that's gonna surprise you!
Eh, Lehua, what you gonna bring?
I'm bringin' the heat, gonna make you sing!
Chorus
Oh, your love is like a manapua, hot and steamy!
My saucy slack key—yeah, you make it dreamy!
We'll find our groove like a poke bowl fresh and fine…
This hidden beach? Yeah, it's yours and mine.
Verse 2
You talk big story 'bout your fishing skill
But I'm the one who really pays the bill
Cast your net out in the deep blue sea…
But the best catch, baby, is right here with me.
Pre-Chorus
Eh, Kaimana, you know what to do?
I'm followin' every cue from you!
Eh, Kaimana, you feel that beat?
It's gettin' sweeter than lilikoi sweet!
Chorus
Oh, your love is like a manapua, hot and steamy!
My saucy slack key—yeah, you make it dreamy!
We'll find our groove like a poke bowl fresh and fine…
This hidden beach? Yeah, it's yours and mine.
Bridge
The keiki are with the tutu for the night…
The moon is our lantern, shining so bright…
No need for nothin', no fancy disguise…
Just the ocean's rhythm in your eyes…
Guitar Solo
Outro
Eh, Lehua… one more time?
You gotta catch me first!… Okay, fine.
My saucy slack key… so steamy…
…yeah, you're mine…
…aloha nui…
Yeah… trade winds blowin', sun sittin' high… Lehua, you feel that heat?
