Feel the texture

Feel my mixture

Yes, the new stuff

Carrying on in new life

This is new stuff

You got me stuck

Yes, I love you

Carrying on in new life

...

Nya-nya-nya-nya

Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya

Nya-nya-nya-nya

Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya

...

Graze on fresh grass

Flight to NZ

You like new things

That I think of love

Feel the whole world

Hear the whole world

Kiwi-down smell

That I think of love

An insect handler

Odd-food lover

Pleasant breeze

Gather up the lights

High power bill

Sugary breeze

...

Feel the texture

Feel my mixture

Yes, the new stuff

Carrying on in new life

This is new stuff

You got me stuck

Yes, I love you

Carrying on in new life

...
