Song lyrics
Can't you see that it's just rainin' 
There ain't no need to go outside 

But baby, you hardly even notice 
When I try to show you 
this song It's meant to keep you 
From doin' what you're supposed to 
Like wakin' up too early 
Maybe we could sleep in 
I'll make you banana pancakes 
Pretend like it's the weekend now 

And we could pretend it all the time 
Can't you see that it's just rainin' 
There ain't no need to go outside 

But just maybe, like an ukulele 
Mama made a baby 
I really don't mind to practice
Because you're my little lady 
Lady, lady love me 
Because I love to lay here lazy 
We could close the curtains 
Pretend like there's no world outside 
And we could pretend that all the time 

Can't you see that it's just raining 
There ain't no need to go outside 

Ain't no need, ain't no need 
Can't you see, can't you see 

Rain all day and I don't mind 

The telephone singing, ringing, it's too early 
Don't pick it up 
We don't need to 
We got everything we need right here 
And everything we need is enough 
It's just so easy 
When the whole world fits inside of your arms 

Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm 
Wake up slow, wake up slow 

But baby, you hardly even notice 
When I try to show you this song 
It's meant to keep you 
From doin' what your supposed to 
Like wakin' up too early 
Maybe we could sleep in 
I'll make you banana pancakes 
Pretend like it's the weekend now 
And we could pretend it all the time 

Can't you see that it's just rainin' 
There ain't no need to go outside 

Ain't no need, ain't no need 
Rain all day and I really, really, really don't mind 
Can't you see, can't you see 

We've got to wake up slow

Oh yeah!
What can be better than a nice chill morning together with Jack's voice in the background making some "hala ka ukulele". Don't speak hawaiian, but I am sure we all know what it means.
Love it, how can I not? D

Hala ka ukulele or la ka ukulele? After listening to the song several times there may be 2 translations. "Hala ka ukulele" is similar to a hawaii local slang (pidgin english) also said as "Hana kuku lele", which is "shame on you" which originated in the sugar plantations. "La Ka Ukulele" is something like "Ukulele Day". In Hawaiian, "La" is day and "Ka Ukulele" is "the ukulele". The Ukulele is a local musical instrument, usually 4, 6, or 8 strings. Google ukulele to see photos. I'm guessing bruddah Jack humorously means shame on you. Aloha!

I love how he says "ukulele". It's so Hawaiian. I'm going to start saying it that way just because Jack told me to. haha.

Jack said hala ka ukulele Mama made a baby
was kinda like the song "Tom and Ana sitting in the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G in Hawaii and his wife just had a baby...so that's what the lyrics mean.
