Quite well known is Piukeona
This is to you
The smiting arm of Maukelana
This is to you

For the first time my thoughts are at ease
Where are you?
Let you and I talk together
This is to you

It was I who called you as such
Pay attention
The part Mexican with the skinny banana
This is to you

Wirey steel cable full of static
Where are you?
However fascinating is your snaring lasso
This is to you






The story is now told
This is to you
Well known is Piukeona
This is to you
