Anyone have the lyrics to: Ke Ala A Ka Jeep, by Eddie Kamae and the Sons Of Hawaii?

I do not have the lyrics, but I do know that Eddie & Myrna Kamae want their song to be sung and, especially, recorded correctly. I suggest you get in touch with them so you can honor their wishes (I think they're in the O'ahu phonebook). Good luck -- it's a great song with wonderful spirit.

Sorry, I don't have the lyrics, but would sure like to. If you ever get them, could you please pass them on to me.
Mahalo, Kiki

Aloha,

I was just watching the Merrie Monarch and heard this song being performed by Halau Hula O Mohala ilima. I would love to see the lyrics and translation to this song.

Kihei de Silva has written a terrific essay about this mele for the Kaiwakiloumoku website. Posted along with the essay are the words given by Eddie Kamae to the halau and an English translation. Here's the link:
