Lyrics

Oh, tall is the tale of the mischievous one Who fished out all the islands and captured the sun His deeds and tasks I will unmask So that you'll understand That before there was a Clark Kent There was a Hawaiian Superman He fished out all the islands with a magic hook There would've been more but somebody looked He pulled morning sky, the sun he entwined To slow down his flight, so kapa could dry Mischievous, marvelous, magical Maui Hero of this land The one, the only, the ultimate Hawaiian Supaman Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian supaman Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian supaman The secret of fire was locked somewhere in time So when the died in the, no way to re-ignite So off he goes in search of those who hold the information So that fire could be used by all the future generations He found that alae held the fire connection But his plan of deception fell short of perfection With no other choice he had to get mean So he squeezed alae's throat until she screamed the secret
