Lyrics
Raising hackles are on the back burner
Now we're cooking with Kozmic Kiwis
We would have gotten to it sooner
Had we planted earlier leastways.
Three years to bear any fruit
But it will be worth the wait
When the millions roll in by the circuitus route
And put vitamins on everybody's plate.
Chorus:
You're my Kozmic Kiwi
And I think you're kind of cute(sort of cute)
Although you're a little bit seedy
You're really a tasty fruit.
Plump, ripe grey-brown skin
With an inside loaded with "C"
Sure enough you're gonna win
A place on the table for me.
Repeat Chorus
Tasty, moist, all green inside
You're really an Oriental treat
That travelled to New Zealand to reside
And grow in the January heat.
Repeat Chorus
And it'll be back to raising roosters again
And the farmers life I'll lead
Until the time comes round again
To sew the Kiwi seed.
Repeat Chorus
