You might need some place to go when you’re feeling like a rest

I’ve seen places high and low but I like this place best

Come up to Pae –ka ka -ri ki in the land of the tiki

Where you spend all your days at the beach

You hear the song from the tu-i when the mornings are dewy

And there’s happiness within your reach

Now you might want to stay where you can see Ti - ta - hi Bay

But take my bit of friend - ly ad - vice

Push on to Paekaka-riki in the land of the tiki

It’s an - other name for Para-dise

SPOKEN

It’s south of the thermal region

On-ly six hundred miles from the Bluff

You fly there by car-ri-er pigeon

Those birds in New Zealand are tough

Now you might want to stay where you can see Ti- ta- hi Bay

But take my bit of friend -ly ad - vice

Push on to Paekaka - ri - ki in the land of the tiki

It’s an - oth - er name for Para-dise

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

SPOKEN

If Featherstone tickles your fancy

And if you can’t then Waikanae

Johnsonville Foxton Otaki

Well don’t let life pass you by

Come up to Pae– ka- ka- ri- ki in the land of the tiki

Where you spend all your days at the beach

You hear the song from the tu-i when the mornings are dewy

And there’s happiness within your reach

Now you might want to stay where you can see Ti- ta- hi Bay

But take my bit of friendly ad- vice

Push on to Pae ka ka-riki in the land of the tiki

It’s a noth er name for Pa-

It’s another name for Pa

It’s another name for Pa ra dise
