Naenae (/ˈnaɪnaɪ/, occasionally spelled NaeNae) is a suburb of the city of Lower Hutt in the North Island of New Zealand. It lies on the eastern edge of the floodplain of the Hutt River, four kilometres from the Lower Hutt Central business district. A small tributary of the Hutt, the Waiwhetu Stream, flows through the suburb.
Naenae has a population of around 8,000 people. It has several schools, including Naenae College (previously the second largest in Lower Hutt), Naenae Intermediate, Naenae Primary, Rata Street School, St. Bernadettes' and Wa Ora Montessori.
Naenae's shopping centre contains an Olympic-size swimming-pool, built when New Zealand hosted an international diving championships. The pool has three diving boards. Originally open-air, the complex gained a roof due to overwhelming public support, making it accessible all year round. A hydroslide adjacent to the main pool attracts more people. The toddlers' paddling pool remained open-air for a few years more.
Naenae or nae-nae is a translation from the Māori, meaning "mosquito" or "sandfly", recalling a time prior to the draining of the area, when the mosquito population predominated.
On my way to see my friends
Who lived a couple blocks away from me (owh)
As I walked through the subway
It must have been about quarter past three
In front of me
Stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it?d cost her her name
A six digit number & a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? no
Didn?t she mind? I don?t think so
Was it for real? damn sure
What was the deal? a pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? she couldn?t wait
Cinnamon queen? let me update
What did she say? she said she?d love to
Rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
Said we?d start with a bottle of moet for two
Chorus
Monday
Took her for a drink on tuesday
We were making love by wednesday
And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
I met this girl on monday
Took her for a drink on tuesday
We were making love by wednesday
And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
Verse 2
Nine was the time
Cos I?ll be getting mine
And she was looking fine
Smooth talker
She told me
She?d love to unfold me all night long
Ooh I loved the way she kicked it
From the front to back she flipped (back she flipped it, ooh the
Way she
Kicked it)
And I oh oh I yeah
Hope that she?d care
Cos I?m a man who?ll always be there
Ooh yeah
I?m not a man to play around baby
Ooh yeah
Cos a one night stand isn?t really fair
From the first impression girl hmm you don?t seem to be like that
Cos there?s no need to chat for there?ll be plenty for that
From the subway to my home
Endless ringing of my phone
When you feeling all alone
All you gotta do
Is just call me call me
Chorus
Monday
Took her for a drink on tuesday
We were making love by wednesday
And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
I met this girl on monday
Took her for a drink on tuesday
We were making love by wednesday
And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
Bridge
(break it down, uh break it down)
Since I met this special lady
Ooh yeah
I can?t get her of my mind
She?s one of a kind
And I ain?t about to deny it
It?s a special kind thing
With you-oh.......
Chorus
