My dog rags.

I have a dog and his name is Rags.

He eats so much that his tummy sags.

His ears flip flop, and his tail wig wags.

And when he walks, he walks, zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.

I love Rags, and he loves me.

One day a Taniwha.

One day a taniwha, went swimming in the moana.

He whispered sweetly in my taringa!

Oh wont you come with me? Theres such a lot to see.

Underneath, the deep blue sea.

But I said kaore kaore kaore, I have to haere haere haere.

Although I know we could be friends.

My mother is waiting for me, underneath the kowhai tree.

O taniwha, o haere ra.

Moana: sea. Taringa: ear. Kaore: no,  Haere: go, Haere ra: goodbye.

Tohoro Nui.

Tohoro nui, tohoro roa, tohoro tino momona.

Tohoro pui puia, tohoro whui whuia.

Tohoro kau ana te moana e, Tohoro kau ana te moana e.

I am a big whale, I am a long whale, I am a very fat whale too.

I like to blow my spout, I like to wiggle my tail.

I like to swim in the deep blue sea, I like to swim in the deep blue sea.

Princess song.

There was a princess long ago, long ago, long ago. There was a princess long ago, long long ago.

And she lived in a great high tower, a great high tower, a great high tower. And she lived in a great high tower, long long ago.

A wicked witch she cast a spell, cast a spell, cast a spell. A wicked witch she cast a spell, long long ago.

The princess slept for a hundred years, a hundred years, a hundred years. The princess slept for a hundred years, long long ago.

A great high forest grew around, grew around, grew around a great high forest grew around, long long ago.

A handsome prince came riding by, riding by, riding by. A handsome prince came riding by, long long ago.

He chopped the trees down with his axe, with his axe, with his axe he chopped the trees down with his axe, long long ago.

He took the princess by the hand, by the hand, by the hand he took the princess by the hand, long long ago.

And every bodies happy now, happy now, happy now and everybodies happy now, long long ago.

Kiwi bird.

The kiwi bird is round and shy

With such short wings that she cant fly

She wakes at night and sleeps by day

And kiwi kiwi she will say

Shes got soft feathers and quite big feet….

And a long long long long long long long beak.

Ma is white.

Ma is white, whero is red, kakariki is green, pango is black, mango is too
