Our town
Peace and tranquillity love and happiness,
Don't dare settle for anything less,
Here right now we are favoured most,
Sunshine and warmth on the East Coast.
Our beautiful beaches and silver reflective sea,
Waves caressing sand this's the place to be,
People out walking plus children too,
Not to mention the spectacular view.
Yes at Takapuna we have this,
Across the Bridge this place is bliss,
Its another world we've come to know,
Sadly its estimated it won't always be so.
