| 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 | 28-04-2005 13:24 bunsy_82 |  1 posts

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!  | 12-07-2005 13:22 sss009 |  76 posts

Jack said hala ka ukulele Mama made a baby
