Ha ha ha.
No, but it was one of my mother’s many silly sayings when we were young.
Just like the following, sung to the melody of Pokarekareana:
Po kare kare ana
I had a rotten banana
I threw it at the teacher
It made her cry.
She said come here
I said no fear
She said I’ll box you on the ear
With a bottle of beer.
Can’t imagine Dame Kiri singing that version.
