Makiki is an area of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi located northeast of downtown Honolulu generally stretching east to west from Punahou Street to Pensacola Street and north to south from Round Top Drive/Makiki Heights Drive to Lunalilo Freeway. Punchbowl, an extinct tuff cone, and Tantalus, tower over the Makiki neighborhood. The geographic layout of this area is primarily older houses, smaller apartment buildings, and side streets. Major roadways include Punahou Street, Pensacola Street, Piʻikoi Street, Nehoa Street, and Wilder Avenue. The area also includes a fire station, hospital, public school system, private schools including Punahou School, several churches of various denominations, a library, a community center, market place, and parks. The valley heights have hiking trails owned by the state for public use. The valley heights are mostly underdeveloped leaving room for a non-profit conservation organization named Hawaii Nature Center, to hold a small property providing conservation education and work opportunity to local schools students. Two Makiki community organizations, Hui o Makiki and Friends of Makiki Community Library, have partnered together to create a Makiki Community with information about educational, cultural, recreational, and social-service offerings in the Makiki area, including a calendar of events.
Oh come on, it's all over, over here
I sat up here in my window lookin' down on the street
A strychnine poison woman, man don't you look so sweet
Well I said come on up and see me sometime
I'm just a drunken sailor but I'm feelin' so fine
I've been out sailin' on the seven seas, baby won't you give it to me? Oh
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone, baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout? You know what I'm talkin' about
Baby won't ya drive me wild? Baby let me see you smile
Watching you, it's alright now
For now I see all the sickly, salty swingers standin' on a bathroom floor
Slidin' and glidin' as she passed by my window
She was a female mercenary comin' home from war
The ultimate inflection of the word perfection
I thought I'd drop by to say, "Hi"
Sweetly, serenely, she showed me her gun, baby let's go get high, oh
Baby won't ya drive me wild? Baby let me see you smile
Baby won't ya please come here? Baby don't ya have no fear
Baby won't ya scratch my back? Baby don't ya leave me mad
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me be mad
Come on, get down
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, well, come on now
I sat down to the matters at hand, tryin' to find a way to beat the heat
Outside my window was a bunch of tipsy gypsys
Dancin' up and down the street
The lovely senorita took me by my hand
She said, "Oh, baby won't you be my man?"
I'll get yours and you'll get mine, baby let's have a good time
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone, baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout? You know what I'm talking about
Baby won't ya drive me wild? Baby let me see you smile
Baby won't ya please come here? Baby don't ya have no fear
Baby let me hold your hand, baby let me be your man
Baby won't ya scratch my back? Baby don't ya leave me mad
Baby won't you [Incomprehensible], baby won't you [Incomprehensible]
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone, baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout? You know what I'm talkin' about
