I was sitting at a table on an open cafe
Waiting for drink of rum
When I asked my waiter "what's the time of day?"
He said look out there's a centipede coming your way
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grow
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangos are sweet
But the centipede he crawls all over your feet
I was sitting in the water in the morning sun
Shaded by a coconut tree
When i turned around it was all I could see
The giant centipede just looking at me
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grow
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangos are sweet
But the centipede he crawls all over your feet
I had only just a second to decide what to do
While looking at his poisonous fangs
When I said I thought it was a beautiful day
He said "wow mr hall I think your pushing my leg"
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grow
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangos are sweet
But the centipede he crawls all over your feet
