Famous is Mark Robinson
Candidate for Senator of the County
The voters are hopeful
That you will be the representative of the Lahui.
Display your splendor
Your knowledge and wisdom
You stand before the citizens
And you display the winning banner.

Let the refrain be told
Vote straight away for Mark Robinson.
