[Verse 1]
Taniwha, [C]Taniwha,
where are you?
Under the sea or in a deep pool?
[F]Taniwha,
Taniwha, how do you do?
I [C]want you to meet my
friends and family too
But [G]how could it be that you're
[F]a mystery?[C]
Taniwha,
Tani[G]wha, to me
I won[F]der where the
Taniwha is?
[C]My
Google
Maps isn't work[G]ing, obviously
[C]Taniwha,
Taniwha, I'm not scared
Of your sharp claws and
your hairy beard
[F]Everyone says you're a hideous beast
[C]With your stinky breath
and your crooked teeth
But [G]how could it be that you're
a [F]mystery?[C]
Taniwha,
Taniwha, [G]come to [F]me[C][G]
[C]Taniwha,
Taniwha, please don't eat me
I taste yuck, I'm not your cup of tea
May[F]be you'd like to feast
on one of my brothers
Or [C]my delicious dad or my
scrumptious mother
But [G]how could it be that
you're a [F]mystery[C]
Taniwha,
Taniwha, [G]come to [F]me[C][G][C]

It [C]means that I won't eat you,
yeah that's what it means
But [G]now can you see that
I'm no [F]mystery

and your cute little nose
I [C]definitely won't eat your yummy toes

I'm feeling [F]a bit hungry now.
[C]It's [G]snackish.

I've had enough
I'm so hungry
I want some lunch
[F]You would feel good in my tummy
I'm [C]sorry to have to eat you
But I think you'll be yummy
Now you're [G]running away
Oh, I [F]wish you would stay
