PNG Version of Waltzing Matilda !!

Once a jolly Simbu,
camped by a marshy swamp
Under the shade of a kokonas tree

Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited while his meri worked,
Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?
Kai kai the buai, kai kai the buai!
Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?

Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited while his meri worked,
Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?
Down came a puk puk to was was in the marshy swamp
Up jumped the Simbu and grabbed him with glee,

Andy sang as shoved the puk puk in his bilum bag,
You’ll come and kai kai the buai with me!
Kai kai the buai, kai kai the buai!
Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?

Andy sang as shoved the puk puk in his bilum bag,
You’ll come and kai kai the buai with me!
Down came the kiap mounted on his wili wil,
Down came the didiman, wan, tu, tri,

Where’s the jolly puk puk you’ve got in your bilum bag’?
You’ll come and kai kai the buai with me!
Kai kai the buai, kai kai the buai!
Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?

Where’s the jolly puk puk you’ve got in your bilum bag?
You’ll come and kai kai the buai with me!
Up jumped the chimbu and jumped into the marshy swamp
You’ll never take me alive said he!

ghostly Andy’s purri may
be heard as you pass by the marshy swamp
Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?
Kai kai the buai, kai kai the buai!

Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?
ghostly Andy’s purri may be heard as you pass by the marshy swamp
Who’ll come and kai kai the buai with me?
