Dance with zoo animals in this fun bilingual action song featuring guest stars Loopy Tunes Preschool Music  (Thank you Siu and Leah!)

Backstory:
Getting to go and play in the band rotunda and also the domes at Auckland Zoo several years in a row pre-pandemic inspired the writing of this song - I needed something new to sing and most importantly dance to with the kids that was active, as noisy as we wanted and related to some of the animals they would see on their visit. My lovely friends in Loopy Tunes helped me refine the te reo in this song, and we trade lead vocals through the verses and harmonies through the choruses. Hope you have fun with this tune!

Lyrics:
It’s the zoo hullaballoo
Come and sing with us too

Waiata, pakipaki, takahia, tārere
Hurihuri,  kanikani 
All together, tātou katoa
   
Waiata, can you sing too?  
Come and do the zoo hullabaloo
Waiata, waiata,  sing like a korimako, waiata
Sing sing sing sing sing sing waiata 

Pakipaki,  can you clap too? 
Come and do the zoo hullabaloo
Pakipaki, pakipaki, clap like an otter, pakipaki     
Clap clap clap clap clap clap pakipaki	

Takahia can you stomp too? 
Come and do the zoo hullaballoo
Takahia, takahia, stomp like an elephant, takahia
Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp takahia 

Waiata, pakipaki, takahia, tārere
Hurihuri,  kanikani 
All together, tātou katoa

Tārere can you swing too
Come and do the zoo hullaballoo
Tārere, tārere, swing like orangutans, tārere
Swing swing swing swing swing swing tārere

Hurihuri can you twirl too?
Come and do the zoo hullaballoo
Hurihuri, hurihuri, twirl like a fur seal, hurihuri 
Twirl twirl twirl twirl twirl twirl hurihuri

Kanikani, can you dance too?
Come and do the zoo hullaballoo
Kanikani, kanikani dance like a cockatoo. kanikani

All together, tātou katoa
All together, tātou katoa

Oooh can you do the zoo

Can you do the zoo hullaballoo?
