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
