Go on down a rocky road, take a left at the stream
Yeah, three houses down under old mango trees
There's a little old shack made of metal and wood
And way, way back if you look real good
You'll see a little old man in the morning mist
And he's doing the taro patch twist
He gets up every morning while his rooster still dreams
And he cooks up his breakfast fresh caught from the stream
Takes a look in the mirror that's cracked and worn
And he laughs to himself 'cause there's no one around
Well he's seen about everything, nothing he's missed
But he lives to do the taro patch twist
He jumps into the lo'i right up to his knees
And with no one around he can do what he please
With the cool mountain water rushing right through he's hands
He can't help but start moving, see him dance, dance, dance
Up and down and around and around he's doing the taro patch twist
Yeah up and down and around and around see him twist, twist, twist
Well he's seen about every thing, nothing he's missed
But he lives everyday to do the taro patch twist
So if you've got the time and you're ever that way
Stop and visit my friend 'cause he's there everyday
It's a long, long ride, but it's worth every mile
And I do guarantee, you'll be met with a smile
Just be ready for fun, you don't know what you've missed
Till you've done the taro patch twist
You jump into the lo'i right up to your knees
And with no one around you can do what you please
With the cool mountain water rushing right through your hands
You can't help but start moving, yeah you'll dance, dance, dance
Up and down and around and around you'll be doing the taro patch twist
Yeah up and down and around and around yeah you'll twist, twist, twist
Just be ready for fun, you don't know what you missed
Till you done the taro patch twist
Just be ready for fun, you don't know what you missed
Till you done the taro patch twist
