Humuhumunukunukuapua’a
If you
ever
Make
the
journey
To
Hawaii
You’ll find blue skies and
an ocean warm and clear
In that ocean
Lives a fishy bright and happy
He swims around all day
tryin’ to say his name.
He’s called the
Humuhumunukunukuapua’a
He’s called the
Humuhumunukunukuapua’a
He’s the very cool fish
With the really, really long
name.
Humu booboo acapoocoo?
No, no, no. It’s
“Humuhumunukunukuapua’a.”
It can only be found in Hawaii,
and it’s their state fish.
Oh, okay…
Humu coocoo moomoo frufru??
Can you sing it again?

Humuhumunukunukuapua’a…
That’s a beautiful name.
I’ll bet it means
“walking along the shores of
Waikiki.”
Actually, it means
“fish that comes out of the water
and sounds like a pig.”
Really?!?
Really.
