Fantail

lyrics

Tīrairaka wero taiaha
Tei! Tei! Ti ti tei!
Whakatekateka ana ki mua
Tei! Tei! Ti ti tei!

Tïoioi, piupiu, parehe,
Whēkokikoki, pekapeka
Tūpekepeke
Te rere a te tīrairaka
Te rere a te tīrairaka
Tei! Tei! Ti ti tei!

Fantail wielding a taiaha
Tei! Tei! Ti ti tei!
Darting cheekily forward
Tei! Tei! Ti ti tei!
Feinting, swaying, parrying,
Dodging, prancing,
Bouncing,
Tei! Tei! Ti ti tei!
