Lyrics:

Haere Mai, everything is ka pai
You're here at last, you're really here at last
Haere Mai, not a cloud in the sky
To coin a phrase, this is the day of days
You're welcome as the sunshine, you're welcome as a king
Pa Kori, this is one time we'll really have a fling
Haere Mai, everything is ka pai
Throughout the land we want to shake your hand
Haere Mai, we're proud of you, that's why
Haere Mai, everything is ka pai
You're here at last, you're really here at last
Haere Mai, not a cloud in the sky
To coin a phrase, this is the day of days
You're welcome as the sunshine, you're welcome as a king
Pa Kori, this is one time we'll really have a fling
Haere Mai, everything is ka pai
Throughout the land we want to shake your hand
Haere Mai, we're proud of you, that's why
Haere Mai, Haere Mai
