In Ireland they say "You'll be my Colleen" But here in New Zealand them Maori's they say "E hine me hoki mai ano" In Spanish they say "Si si Senorita" In Mehico they say "Wi wi Wanita" But here in New Zealand them Maori's they say E hine me hoki mai ano We got an airport in Mangere Where the sewers run out to the sea Oh what will the tourist say "A panorama view of our Auckland drains" Oh Auckland in the sun Biggest city in New Zealand All my days I will sing and praise Of the traffic regulations and the many strange ways Red and green lights, everywhere Green and red lights, here and there Don't go near them if you're colour blind You'll wind up in jail like the rest of your kind Oh Auckland in the sun Biggest city in New Zealand All my days I will sing and praise Of the traffic regulations and the many strange ways In Raglan they say "Don't take our land away" In Parliament they say "We'll find another way" But back here in Auckland them Maori's they say "E Muldoon leave Bastion Point alone"
