My Little Grass Shack

The Andrews Sisters were a highly successful close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia Andrews (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Angelyn Andrews (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" Andrews (born February 16, 1918). Throughout their long career, the sisters sold well over 75 million records (the last official count released by MCA Records in the mid-1970s). Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues or jump blues. more »

There's a place in Hawaii
That is very dear to me
I am homesick as can be
Won't you listen to my plea?

I want to go back to my little grass shack in kealakekua hawaii
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines that I knew long ago

I can hear old guitars a-playing 
On the beach at ho'onaunau
I can hear the hawaiians saying
"Komo mai no kaua ika hale welakahao"

It won't be long 'til my ship will be sailing back to kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see.
I'm just a little hawaiian and a homesick island boy,
I want to go back to my fish and poi,

I want to go back to my little grass shack in kealakekua, hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
