SONG

OKS DAY (D.D.) At break of day up comes the sun, And getting washed is lots of fun, You make your bed and brush your hair And then at last your breakfast’s there But Maunganui, ole Maunganui, She jes' go rolling along.

There’s porridge for the hearty male And stewed fruit for the fair and frail On what comes next you can't lay odds It’s on the knees of the galley’s gods But Maunganui, old Maunganui She jes' goes rolling along. At noon, spurred, on by promptings inner You seek your ward' to get your dinner* There's beef or mutton, fruit or jelly, If you get a second helping it fills your stomach. But Maunganui, etc. Then evening •comes, your have your tea, The sun sinks in the western sea. The lights go on,the radio blares, And Christopher Robin says his prayers. But Maunganui, etc. At half past nine out goes the light , The sisters kiss us all goodnight'.. And gratefully you hit the hay | And thank God that’s another day. SPELLING But Maunganui, etc. tL-.-
