Lyrics -
When you live in a town
A town whose name start’s with Pu
Have a fish bun from Ma Baker’s
When there’s not much to do
When you’re hammered
BP has Oxford Pies
883 is the area code there
And there’s Pump Water too
Putararu
There’s sawmills and timber museums
And they drink Wa-ka-tu
Putaruru
There’s the Hog and Hounds bar
And some cheese that they called Over The Moon
The Trough is a filthy place to drink a beer or two
Water fountain – full of bubbles and flies
There’s retirement homes by the dozen
Lots of barber shops too
Putarauru
Fish and chip shop
Has great cheesy mayo
And there’s banks but just two
Putaruru
Hidden gem
Of the Southern Waikato
But a bit pukaru
Putaruru
Gareth Morgan
And Grant Fox are from there
And Wayne Smith’s from there too
Putaruru
