Can Anyone Help with a Maori Chicken Dance Song?

Leah wrote:

Hi.

I remember singing the chicken dance, as a young child, but can’t remember the words.

I think the start went “Kapu kapu, ringa ringa, paki paki…” but am unsure how it finishes.

Could you help me?

Thanks,
Leah

If anyone can help with this song, please comment below or email me.

Thanks!

   I work at a kohanga reo, which is a language nest where all the learning preschoolers learn in, is the Maori language. here are the words which we teach our tamariki that particular song.
   Kapu kapu ringaringa, pakipaki parirau, whatiwhati hope
   kapukapu ringaringa, pakipaki parirau, whatiwhati hope
   ka hurihuri huri maui, ka hurihuri matou e
   ka hurihuri huri maui, ka huri huri matau e ( then sing thru once more)
