Hinemoa Tui MainaA
All of them were born togetherB
They are quite an extra specialC
Set of babies wax and leatherB
-
Every day they took an airingD
Mummy made them each a bonnetE
Two were cherry one was yellowF
With a bow of ribbon on itG
-
Really sometimes we would slap themH
For if ever we were talkingD
They would giggle and be sillyI
Saying quot Mamma take us walking quotG
-
But we never really loved themH
Till one day we left them lyingD
In the garden through a hail stormJ
And we heard the poor dears cryingD
-
Half Past Six said quot You're a motherB
What if Mummy did forget you quotG
So I said quot Well you're their FatherB
Get them quot but I wouldn't let youK
