Lyrics
Pre-chorus
Seismic waves can’t shake our soul
We drill, we train, we’re in control
From Turangi, Port Waikato, east and west wide
We move together, side by side
Chorus
ShakeOut shake down, feel the power
We rise up in the darkest hour
Earthquake coming, but we won’t break
We’re ready now—make no mistake
ShakeOut strong, Waikato we lead the way
Drop, cover, hold—save the day
Verse
Yo Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Manawatū-Whanagnui crew
Waikato’s prepped—how 'bout you?
We drill like legends, quake-smart and proud
Now it’s your turn—say it loud!
ShakeOut’s not just for the brave and bold
It’s for every whānau, young and old
So rise up Waikato, prep up, take the lead
Our region’s strength is what we need.
