Featherston's Finest

South Seas Tarantella

From Puglia she came to the Wairarapa
A sadness fell upon her
Like the darkest winter
Na ni na ni na ni na
Tell you a story of death by pizzica

Betrothed to an old man–a cold cruel farmer
Her husband had a temper
Like the King of Malta
Na ni na ni na ni na
I'll tell you a story of how he went too far

Alone on the shoreline with insomnia
The moonlight shone upon her
And all was limned silver
Na ni na ni na ni na
There on a sand dune she felt the pizzica

The rush from the kiss of a tiny spider
She felt her blood igniting
A feeling so bizarre
Na ni na ni na ni na

Dancing till dawnspring in sweet euphoria

A fortnight went by when her ole man beat her
Pummelled to the floorboards
She never knew what for
Na ni na ni na ni na
From beneath the coal range leapt out a t'rantula

She offered her wrist to the kindly creature
Once more her blood igniting
A rush familiar
Na ni na ni na ni na
Free now to frenzy a wild hysteria

Consumed by the fire of tarantella
A madness fell upon her
She snatched hold 'a cleaver
Na ni na ni na ni na
Twirling, spinning–a bloody massacre
