Did you have your honeymoon here? Did you break your arm here? Has Ohakune changed at all since Peter H made it (in)famous six decades ago? D
September in Oha-A-kune, I
looked so D sweet.
With your frostbitten A fingers and your ice-cold D feet. September in Oha-A-kune, was such a D thrill. It was so damp and A drafty that you caught a D chill. A7 We skied on Mount Rua-D-pehu, A7 I fell and broke both my D arms. Bandages wrapped all around you, weren't any help to your charms.  September in Ohakune, you gave me flowers. And you had a fever for 24 hours. September in Ohakune, was just divine. With the Limited whistling of the Main Trunk Line. September in Ohakune, your nose was red. From using your hankie, for a cold in my head. Oh, how you suffered from chilblains, On all your fingers and toes. Coughing and sneezing and migraines, Added
to your other woes.
September in Ohakune, those days are gone. But the terrible memory keeps lingering on. September in Ohakune, how strange it seemed. That you were the answer to all my dreams. September in Ohakune, I learned the truth. In a trunk full of makeup, you kept all your youth. Oh, what a happy occasion, my first and last honeymoon. Catching a flu that was Asian, lying on your bed in a swoon. September in Ohakune, the passing years Have left us with memories.... Wah, wah, wah! ...and a few souvenirs! 
Duets
September
in Ohakune is one of the few New Zealand songs
that is a duet. Johnny
Cooper's Lone-ly,
Lone-ly Blues and John Archer's Lady
Loader-Driver, based on a true rural
topdressing story, are other Kiwi duets.
The Banks of the Condamine from Australia, and Oh No John, No John, No John, No from England are the only other ones I can think of. But why are they only recorded by soloists? Kiwi songs - Maori songs - Home
