Seeing as the big dog Rog was on air all day on Friday. Jeremy thought we should give his home town the treatment in this weeks Poo Towns of NZ.
This one's for you Katikati!
Lyrics below -
Hey look at that statue - statue of an old man
He’s sitting on a chair and his name is Barry
So many murals - 66 at last count
The biggest attraction in Kati-kati
So many dentists, and lots of hairdressers,
For a town this small it might seem kind of dumb
Who’s the old man stealing plants from Hammer Hardware
On his motor scooter taking some
They got some opshops with second hand records
One or two bucks for vinyl music is okay
Dave Gallagher was first All Black Captain
Did you know he’s from Katikati?
Avocados, kiwifruit, and big cucumbers
Yes, they are the biggest in N-Z
There’s potholes and roadworks, but there is no bypass
It’s been promised since some time last century
The only place that has an AA sign
With Naturist Campground and it leads to some C&B
No wonder Roger Farrelly likes it
The biggest creep from Katikati
Katikat Bird Gardens, highly recommended
And the current hometown of old Ben Hurley
The local high school, they just changed their motto
Used to be Failing Our Students Horribly
And over summer, pedestrian traffic lights
Are backing up the traffic far as you can see
Close to the Kaimais, and rivers and beaches
And it is the gateway to Bay Of Plenty
A park that’s full of haiku poems
A sculpture of an elephant seal that’s called Humphrey
A methlab behind the Indian Food Place
And Countdown’s busy in Katikati
I want Kat
I want Kat
I want Katikati
