| E rua ngā manu paku | Two little dicky birds |
| E noho taiapa ana | Sitting on a wall |
| Ko tētahi ko Pita, ko tētahi ko Paora | One named Peter, one named Paul |
| Rere atu Pita, rere atu Paora | Fly away Peter, fly away Paul |
| Hoki mai Pita, hoki mai Paora! | Come back Peter, come back Paul! |
| Ka haere tēnei poaka ki te mākete | This little piggy went to the market |
| Ka noho tēnei poaka ki te kāinga | This little piggy stayed home |
| Ka kai tēnei poaka i te mīti | This little piggy ate roast beef |
| Kua kore mā tēnei poaka | This little piggy had none |
| Ka tangi tēnei poaka, tae rawa atu | This little piggy cried |
| Kia te kāinga e! | All the way home! |
| Tīrama, tīrama ngā whetū | Twinkle, twinkle little star |
| Kei te aha rā koutou? | How I wonder, what you are? |
| Kei runga ake rā | Up above the world so high |
| Taimana tō rite e | Like a diamond in the sky |
| Tīrama, tīrama ngā whetū | Twinkle, twinkle little star |
| Kei te aha rā koutou? | How I wonder, what you are? |
| Hei Tira Tira | Hey Diddle Diddle |
| Te poti me te whira | The cat and the fiddle |
| Ka peke te kau i te marama | The cow jumped over the moon |
| Ka kata te kurī | The little dog laughed |
| I tana mahi pai | To see such fun |
| Ka oma te ngeru me te pune | The cat ran away with the spoon |
