[Verse 1] Let me tell you about my friend, a fish with a real big name, State fish of Hawaiʻi, that’s his claim to fame. I met him one day while snorkeling, just seeing what I’d see, Swimming through the coral reef in the deep blue sea. Heard a grunt that sounded like a pig, coming from a fish who wasn’t very big. Piggy little snout made him look pretty tame, So I swam a little closer, "Aloha, what’s your name?" He said, "Mr. Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo-Ah-Pwah-Ah", then shot me a grin. I’m sure I looked confused and said, "Huh? Come again?" He said, "No one can ever say it first time around, gonna have to teach you sound by sound. If ya got a few minutes, I’ll teach you how. It starts with a question you might ask a cow.' First, who? (who?) Then, moo. (moo) Put ’em together, then say it times two: "Who-moo-Who-moo" (Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo) See? Easy to do. Next part, use the same rhythm, just two sounds to change. Then you’ll know at least part of my name. Swap the H for N, and the M for a K, turn the Hoo-Moo’s into New-Koo’s, you’re well on your way." [Pre-Hook: crisp pronunciation] Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo then New-Koo-New-Koo. Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo. (Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo) Hey, good job, listen to you. Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo. [Hook] He might be a little fish, but his name is big, he has colorful stripes and a face like a pig. Might be the cutest little fish you ever saw, he’s a Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo... but that’s not all. [Verse 2] He said "Second half’s a little tricky if you aren’t from these parts, but take it sound by sound, here’s how this part starts. Just like at the dentist, open up and say ah. Then blow a kiss that sounds like mwah. Ah (ah), Mwah (mwah) Instead of an mmm, push it out with a ppp, p, p, Pwah. (pwah, pwah, pwah) Now sandwich that pwah between an ah and an ah: ah... pwah... ah (ah... pwah... ah) Again, a little quicker, "ah-pwah-ah" (ah-pwah-ah) That’s real close. Give it another try, but take a step back, in case the spit flies. ah-pwah-ah (ah-pwah-ah) One more time, ah-pwah-ah (ah-pwah-ah) [Bridge] All we have left is saying it through. Connect the "Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo" and "New-Koo-New-Koo". Put that part together with the "Ah-Pwah-Ah." and you have "Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo-Ah-Pwah-Ah" "That’s it." Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo-Ah-Pwah-Ah "A little faster." Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo-Ah-Pwah-Ah I said, [excited] "Well it Sure is nice to meet you, Mr. Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo-Ah-Pwah-Ah" [Final Hook] He might be a little fish, but his name is big, he has colorful stripes and a face like a pig. If you ever meet him, please say I said aloha, to Mr. Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo-Ah-Pwah-Ah. [Outro] Hoo-Moo-Hoo-Moo-New-Koo-New-Koo-Ah-Pwah-Ah
