Lyrics
Take Me Back (To Ol' Maui)
It's another day in another town
There's another sigh and another frown
As I walk on by, I wonder if
There's a place called paradise out there
With the coconut girls with the long brown hair
With a Mai Tai filled high
Underneath a silver sky
Laying in the breeze
Well I'm on my way
So, light 'em up and drink 'em down
Let's go far far far from this town
Far away across the sea
Take me back
Oh, take me back
To ol' Maui
It's five o'clock and I'm on the beach
My Lave Flow is just in reach
The sands drift and I wonder if
I'll see another orange sunset
In the ebb flowin' where to lovers met
Hand in hand dancing to a Hula band
Singin' in the breeze
Well I'm on my way
So, light 'em up and drink 'em down
Let's go far far far from this town
Far away across the sea
Take me back
Oh, take me back
To ol' Maui
Take me back
Oh, take me back
To ol' Maui
It's time to leave on another plane
I'm standing in line at the baggage claim
The time rolls by and I wonder if
I could grab my bags and run like hell
And spend another night at the same hotel
With the girls in the sunshine
Showing off their tan lines
Laying in the breeze
Well I'm here to stay
So, light 'em up and drink 'em down
Let's go far far far from this town
Far away across the sea
Take me back
Oh, take me back
To ol' Maui 3x's
