Kākāpō you dwell on the ground
Kākāpō you make the most unusual sound
Kākāpō your feathers are so soft
With a face like an owl, Kākāpō
Kākāpō you're a parrot of the night
Kākāpō your wings can't take flight
Kākāpō you cleverly climb trees
And your run is like a lollop Kākāpō
Yellowy green speckled with black
Grey brown underneath
Feel your way in the dark
With whiskey feathers around your long grey beak
Live in Aotearoa and I'm so glad you do
You smell musty sweet
But I haven't had the pleasure of smelling you
Kākāpō the heaviest parrot around
Kākāpō you're quite nimble on the ground
Kākāpō love the fruit of the rimu tree
You're a herbivore, Kākāpō
Yellowy green speckled with black
Grey brown underneath
Feel your way in the dark
With whiskey feathers around your long grey beak
Live in Aotearoa and I'm so glad you do
You smell musty sweet
But I haven't had the pleasure of smelling you
Kākāpō weird and wonderful Kākāpō
Kākāpō precious Kākāpō
Kākāpō
