1. E HINE, E HOKI MAI ANO - Emaj The Hi Marks In England they say, “Will you be my Queen?” In Ireland they say, “You’ll be my Colleen” But here in New Zealand the Mäori they say, “E hine, e hoki mai ano” In Spanish they say, “Si si senorita” In Mexico they say, “Wi wi juanita” But here in New Zealand the Mäori they say, “E hine, e hoki mai ano” We got an airport in Mangere, where the sewers run out to the sea, oh what will the tourist say , a panoramic view of our open drains. Oh Auckland in the sun, biggest city in New Zealand, all my days I will sing and pray of the traffic regulations and their 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 pray of the traffic regulations and their 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 the Mäori they say, “Hey Helen leave the foreshore alone.” “Hey Helen leave the foreshore alone.” “Hey Helen leave the foreshore alone.”
