Description: Another great songwriter in my life, Michael White, was my boss at the community access TV station I worked at. One day he gifted me with a coffee mug that had a picture of this fish, and it's name, written in small letters wrapped all around the mug! He challenged me to write a song about the fish... Ta DA!!

lyrics

HumuHumuNukuNukuAPua’A
It’s the funniest fish you ever saw
HumuHumuNukuNukuAPua’a
Put together like the pieces of a jigsaw

Under the sea and in between the islands
Swims a fish that’s loved by the Hawaiians
And when you pull it out of the sea so big
It snorts a snort like the snort of a pig!

CHORUS

Pele, the Goddess of volcanos,
When she gets jealous, her angry really shows
But this new Life and Land grow out of the sea
And makes happiness for the fish, for you and for me!

Repeat Chorus
