Where’s Waipukurau?

V4

Where’s Waipukurau? by Nyx (Yes "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu" is a real name of a hill in New Zealand) (Verse 1) Two men hiked through the woods, feeling lost, They were searching for Waipukurau, no matter the cost, They stumbled upon an old lady one day, Asked, "Where’s Waipukurau?" here’s what she’d say: (Chorus] “Oh, it’s right next to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu!" [Verse 2] They thought she had a heat stroke, poor old lady, With all that mumbling, it drove them crazy! They gave her some water, then walked along, “Let’s just find Waipukurau on our own!” (Verse 3) The next day they met a grumpy little man nearby, Asked him, "Where’s Waipukurau?" with a hopeful sigh, He scratched his head, then scratched his chin, And started speaking, but where to begin? (Chorus] “Oh, it’s right next to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu!" (Verse 4) They looked at each other, their faces full of dread, "Is this some kind of plague?" one of them said. "Everyone’s speaking like they’re having a stroke, Maybe it’s spreading, we’re all gonna choke!" (instrumental) (Verse 5) For days they’ve been walking in circles, their feet getting sore, They’d given the old lady water, now thirsting for more, Ran from the man who they thought had the plague, But then they saw the sign, their spirits were saved! (Chorus) It read, “Welcome to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu!” (Outro) They looked at each other, a smile on their face, Realized the mix-up, no need for the chase, Laughing so hard, one said with a grin, “Well, looks like we’ve found Waipukurau, after all, my friend!” (Chorus) Turns out Waipukurau is next to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu!
