Lyrics[]
You never know how much I love ya
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feelin' that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
Fever all through the night
Listen to me, baby
Hear every word I say
No one could love you the way I do
'Cause they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Bless my soul, I love you
Take this heart away
Take these arms I'll never use
And just believe in what my lips have to say
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Lava:
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When I put my wings around you
I've got a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
Fever all through the night
Tiki Totem Poles:
We got the fever, ah... Uh!
(chants)
Lava:
Take it, tikis!
Tiki Totem Poles:
Never know how much he gave you
Now the young sweets of life
When you sing a song right to us
We'll sing our parts to make our temperature rise
To give us fever
When you kiss us
Fever when you hold us tight
Fever in the mornin'
Fever all through the night
Lava:
You get the fever
Tiki Totem Poles:
We got the fever
Lava:
A burnin' fever
Tiki Totem Poles:
You gave us fever
Lava:
A scorchin' fever
Tiki Totem Poles:
Don't wanna leave her
Lava:
It's red hot fever
Tiki Totem Poles:
We're all believers
(chanting begins)
Scats:
Downed!
(chanting continues)
Lava:
Now, down boys!
(continued chants of "Hawaiian War Chant")
