Ki runga, shake them up high
Ki runga, up to the sky
Ki raro, shake them down low
Ki raro, down to your toes
Ki muri, shake behind your back
Ki muri, on your back
Give it a tap, tap, tap, tap
Now everybody too, don't even move your shoe
Let's all count to four and then say
Pai-ya, tahi, rua, toru, whā
Pai-ya, me tere
Shake them really fast, me tere
How long can you last?
Keep shaking, keep shaking
Tahi, rua, toru, whā
Four, two
Tūri, shake them really slow
Pō, tūri, how slow can you go?
Tūri, tūri, spin as you shake
Tūri, tūri, don't get dizzy, just shake
Keep spinning, keep spinning
Now everybody too, don't even move your shoe
Let's all count to four and then say
Pai-ya, tahi, rua, toru, whā
Pai-ya, kani, kani
Let's finish with a dance, kani, kani
Just do your own dance, kani, kani
You can hop like you're a bunny, kani, kani
Until we say the end
The end
