''Oh, you pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you.''
You might not remember all the words but you will probably never be able to forget the tune if you were around in 1968.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the big children's movie of that year and for the sake of those who do not know its four-wheeled star, ''Chitty'' was a dilapidated old car with some tricks up its fenders.
And, for a month from April 1, ''Chitty'' will be on display at the Wanaka Warbirds and Wheels Museum.
The car is owned by film producer Sir Peter Jackson, who has loaned it to the museum, and it will be used to help raise funds for the Upper Clutha Children's Medical Trust.
The only times previously the New Zealand public has been able to see the car, in person so to speak, has been at a couple of North Island airshows.
Sir Peter, who bought it in 2011, has, however, been spotted driving it through the streets of Wellington on occasion.
Museum director Robert Duncan said the museum was ''incredibly excited'' to be able to display the car.
''It's a fond childhood memory for many of us and to have her here is a dream come true.''
There would be many ways for locals and visitors to get ''up close'' to Chitty while it was in Wanaka, Mr Duncan said.
''This will be the place to visit during the school holidays and we anticipate visitors from all over the South Island, if not further afield.
''It really is a unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,'' Mr Duncan said.
The car has the number plate GEN11 and was the only one of about seven used in the movie that could actually be driven.
It was designed by movie designer Ken Adam and built by the Ford Racing Team.
The car is powered by a three-litre Ford V6 engine and has a dashboard from a British World War 1 fighter plane.
The car had many James Bond-style features - not surprising given the movie was based on a book by Ian Fleming.
Museum general manager Naomi Lindsay said she was still working on many of the details of the car's visit, including an artist-in-residence week and screenings of the movie.
The musical featured Dick Van Dyke as the crackpot inventor Caractacus Potts.
He is now 89 years old and living in California.
As for that song, it was nominated for an Academy Award but might now be more aptly described as an ''earworm''.
