Songs for pre-schoolers

The words of these songs are
mostly on one page:
Anei rā ngā mahi e
Haere mai te manuhiri
Haere rā e hine
He pipi māu e hine
He rā whānau - Happy Birthday...
He tangata pai - For He's a Jolly...
He Tira Tira
I ngā wā o mua rā
Kapokapo whetū iti
Kei hea te tuna?
Korikori
Kua riro C. A. T.
Mā is white
Mahunga, pakihiwi... Heads, shoulders...
Me kā harikoa koe
Motokā iti rawa e
Ngā Rā o Te Wiki
Oma rāpeti,
One day a taniwha
Pāpā hipi mangu
Tohora Nui
Whakawhiti rori
