The Hit Crew Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Hawaiian War Chant

Lyricist:Ralph (eng Lyr) Freed, Leleiohaku, Johnny Noble

There's a sunny little, funny little melody
It was started by a native down in Waikiki
He would gather a crowd down beside the sea
And they'd play his gay Hawaiian Chant

Soon the other little natives started singing it
And the hula hula maidens starting swinging it
Like a tropical storm, that's the way it hit
Funny little gay Hawaiian chant

Au we ta huala
Au we ta huala

Though it started on an island down Hawaii way
It's as popular in Tennessee or Ioway
If you wander into any cabaret
You will hear this gay Hawaiian chant

Au we ta huala
Au we ta huala

Au we atuala
Au we atuala

There's a sunny little, funny little melody
It was started by a native down in Waikiki
He would gather a crowd down beside the sea
And they'd play his gay Hawaiian Chant

Soon the other little natives started singing it
And the hula hula maidens starting swinging it
Like a tropical storm, that's the way it hit
Funny little gay Hawaiian chant

Au we ta huala
Au we ta huala
Au we atuala
Au we

Funny little gay Hawaiian chant
Funny little gay Hawaiian chant
Funny little gay Hawaiian chant


2.My Little Grass Shack

Lyricist:Bill Cogswell, Tommy Harrison, Johnny Noble

I wanna go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
I wanna be with all the kanes and wahines
That I knew long ago

I can hear the old guitars a-playing
On the beach at Ho'onaunau
I can hear the old Hawaiian saying
'Komo mai no kaua ika hale welakahao'

It won't be long 'til my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see
I'm just a little Hawaiian and a homesick island boy
I wanna go back to my fish and poi

I wanna go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by

It won't be long 'til my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see
I'm just a little Hawaiian and a homesick island boy
I wanna go back to my fish and poi

I wanna go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa goes swimming by


3.Escape

Lyricist:Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a one hour recording
Of a favorite song

So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read

If you like Pina Coldas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain

If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape

I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kinda mean
Well, me and my old lady
Had fallen into that same old dull routine

So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad

Yes, I like Pina Coldas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Maley's
Where we'll plan our escape

So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face

It was my own lovely lady
And she said, 'Aw, it's you'
And we laughed for a moment
And I said, 'I never knew'

â½That you liked Pina Coldas
And getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagneâ

â½If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escapeâ

If you like Pina Coldas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain

If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Come with me and escape

5.Talk To The Animals

Lyricist:Leslie Bricusse

If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chatting with a chimp in Chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah
What a neat achievement it would be

If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Maybe take an animal degree
We'd study Elephant and Eagle, Buffalo and Beagle
Alligator, Guinea Pig and Flea

We could converse in Polar Bear and Python
And we could curse in fluent Kangaroo
If people ask us, â½Can you speak Rhinoceros?â
We'd say, 'Of courserous, can't you?'

If we conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
Think of the all the things we could discuss
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to us

If we consulted with quadrupeds
Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea
Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses or sea lions
What a lovely place the world would be

We'd learn to speak in Antelope and Turtle
Our Pekingese would be extremely good
If we were asked to sing in Hippopotamus
We'd say â½Whynotamous?â, and would

And I am sure every octopus, lobster and platypus
Certainly would see it as a plus
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to us

We'd learn to speak in Antelope and Turtle
Our Pekingese would be extremely good
If we were asked to sing in Hippopotamus
We'd say â½Whynotamous?â, and would

If we all spoke like animals, who needs English?
Gradually, we'd drop it with no fuss
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to us


6.Horton Hears A Who

Lyricist:Lynn (lyrics) Ahrens, Stephen Charles Flaherty, Theo Seuss
Geisel

On the fifteenth of May in the jungle of Nool
In the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool
He was splashing, enjoying the jungle's great joys
When Horton the elephant, Horton the Elephant
Horton the elephant heard a small noise

Help, help

So Horton stopped splashing, he looked toward the sound
â½That's funnyâ, thought Horton, â½There's no one aroundâ
Then he heard it again, just a very faint yelp
As if some tiny person were calling for help

Help, help

â½I'll help youâ, said Horton, â½But who are you and
where?â
He looked and he looked, he could see nothing there
But a small speck of dust blowing past through the air

â½I say, how confusing, I've never heard tell
Of a small speck of dust that is able to yell
So you know what I think? I think that there must
Be someone on top of that small speck of dustâ

â½Some poor little person who's shaking with fear
That he'll blow in the pool, he has no way to steer
He's alone in the universeâ

â½I'll just have to save him because after all
A person's a person no matter how small
A person's a person no matter how smallâ

So, gently and using the greatest of care
The elephant stretched his great trunk through the air
And he lifted the dust speck and carried it over
And placed it down, safe, on a very soft clover
