Asked my father about this one ... he sings it from time to
time ... here are the words he can remember.

Come down to Paekakariki
In the land of the tiki
Where you spend all the day on the beach.
You get a song from the tui
When the monring is dewy
And theres happiness within your reach

Its north (?) of the polar region
And only 600 miles from the Bluff
You get there by carrier pigeon,
Those birds in New Zealand are tough.

You might want to stay
Where you can see Titahi Bay
But take this piece of friendly advice
Go on to Paekakarirki
In the land of the tiki
Its another name for paradise.

He asks if anyone out there knows the words to the song "The
Dog Dosing Strip at Dunsandel"? (Only in New Zealand!)
