I was sitting at the table in an open cafe
Chewing on a piece of gum
When I asked my waiter for the time of day
He said look out there is centipede
Coming your way

In Lahaina
The sugarcane grow
In Lahaina
The living is slow
In Lahaina
Mangos are sweet
But the centipede crawls all over you feet

I was lying by the water in the morning sun
Shaded by a coconut tree
When I turned around it was all I could see
There was a great big centipede staring at me

In Lahaina
The sugarcane grow
In Lahaina
The living is slow
In Lahaina
Mangos are sweet
But the centipede crawls all over you feet

Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh
Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh

I had only just a second to decide what to do
While looking at its poisonous fags
When I said I thought it was a beautiful day
He said, look out mister I think you're pushing my leg

In Lahaina
The sugarcane grow
In Lahaina
The living is slow
In Lahaina
Mangos are sweet
But the centipede crawls all over you feet

Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh
Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh
In Lahaina
Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh
Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh
Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh
Oh lo, lo, lo oh, oh, oh, oh lo, lo, lo
Lo, lo, lo, lo oh, oh
