Friki-Friki
[MAHI]
The peregrine falcon is circling the sky
I think it’s an omen
You wanna make Friki-Friki?
[JACK, spoken]
No. I do not
[MAHI]
The red apapane is learning to fly
The sparrows are calling
You wanna make Friki-Friki?
[JACK, spoken]
Please start the car
[MAHI]
A local tradition:
Whenever the myna sings her song
A man and a woman must touch instantly
Take a look at the nene that’s passing you by
The red footed booby
Now, who could deny?
It’s time to make wet and sticky Friki-Friki with me
[JACK]
Betsy loves me
She’s upset, but Betsy loves me
And as soon as I can show her how I’ve changed
She’ll forget the whole Megillah
Betsy loves me
Move your hand please
Betsy loves me…
And the birds are very special here
It’s true
But lady, I’ve got other things to do
[MAHI]
A beautiful sunset
[JACK]
Please start the car
[MAHI]
The sound of the loon
[JACK]
Please! Start the car!
[MAHI]
Is it getting warm here?
[JACK]
Don’t take that off please!
[MAHI]
Come on, we make Friki-Friki?
[JACK, spoken]
I am not making Friki-Friki!
[MAHI]
The churn of the ocean
[JACK, spoken]
Uh… uh… uh…
[MAHI]
The rise of the moon
[JACK, spoken]
Uh… Catheters! Iron lungs!
[MAHI]
The animal yearning
[JACK, spoken]
Uh… Malaria!
[MAHI]
It’s time to make…
[JACK, spoken]
Rabies!
[MAHI]
Friki-Friki!
[JACK, spoken]
Egg salad!
[MAHI]
There’s nobody looking
Just ocean a million miles long
Your spirit is screaming
So set yourself free
You wanna see some moe moe
[JACK, spoken]
Uh, no, no, no moe moe!
[MAHI]
You wanna see some hana ma’i
You wanna a little launa ‘ana
[JACK, spoken]
Please stop!
[MAHI]
Guess what?
I agree!
Come on, get a little wet and sticky
Slurpy, licky
Friki-Friki-Friki-Friki with me!
