Ke ala a ka Jeep 

Inâ ‘oe e kau ana i ke ka‘a Jeep
He loa ke ala e hele ai, he kâhulihuli
Ma nâ pi‘ina nâ ihona piha pôhaku
‘Alo ana i nâ pânini me nâ ‘çkoa

Ho‘opû‘iwa i nâ pîpî a holo i kahi ‘ç 
Pçlâ mâkou i hiki ai i kai o Waikapuna
A mai laila a Pâ‘ula me kona hiehie
‘Ike aku i ke ana ‘o Puhi‘ula

Ho‘i hou aku i Nâ‘âlehu me ka ka‘a Jeep 
Hau‘oli ka helena me nâ makamaka
Alu aku i Kalae a me Kaulana
A ‘ike iâ Palahemo wai kamaha‘o

A hiki mai i ka hale o ka makamaka 
Luana i ka la‘i ‘olu o Wai‘ôhinu
Ha‘ina ka puana me ke aloha
No ka ‘âina ka ua o Hâ‘ao

Translation

If you’re getting in the Jeep 
The road we travel will be long, and you’ll be tossed about
On all the bumps and rocky dips 
And by our dodging of cactus and koa haole 

We startled the cattle, and they ran away 
Thus did we reach the shore of Waikapuna
And on from there to delightful Pâ‘ula
Where we saw Puhi‘ula cave

Then we returned by Jeep to Nâ‘âlehu 
It’s such a joy to travel with friends 
Together we pushed on to Kalae and Kaulana 
And saw the wondrous water of Palahemo

Now we’ve reached the home of a dear friend
And relax in the cool serenity of Wai‘ôhinu 
Thus ends our song, its message is given with love 
It honors the land of the Hâ‘ao rain.
