Swing
by Albert K. "Baba" Akiona
Hey little girl won't you come with me
We'll climb the branches of a mango tree
Laugh and sing happy as can be
We'll swing
Hey little girl, let's take a walk in the sand
We'll stroll the beach skipping hand in hand
And build a castle to a wonderland
We'll swing
*I am your guy and you are my gal
Friends forever, buddies, pals
Inseparable it's plain to see
We'll be together for eternity
Hey teenage beauty in a snow white gown
Let's hit the prom and we'll boogie down
Jump in my car and we'll paint the town
We'll swing
Hey pretty baby can you come out tonight
We'll share some dinner under candlelight
I'll steal a kiss if the mood is right
We'll swing
*chorus
Hey pretty lady will you marry me
We've been together since the mango tree
We'll stay together for eternity
And swing
Now we're together as a family
We watch our baby by the mango tree
She's with a boy happy as can be
They'll swing
They'll swing
スウィング

<解説>
イムアのセカンドアルバム「Live Aloha」収録。リリースは2000年。作曲はババ・アキオナ。たぶんハワイでだったと思うが、リリースの年に僕はCDを買って、この曲が大好きになった。まさか翌年に、イムア本人と知り合うなんて夢にも思わなかった。来日した彼ら(デイブ&ババ)のバックバンドをつとめた僕は、このスウィングを演奏した。懐かしいスウィートメモリーだ。
