Lakshmanji,
Here's the dance song as written a long time back. In the book Melgaram Tirikutaraskppa Kavirayar's " A Kuravanji in Kutralam" translated by David C Buck the entire song is available. If its OK I can scan and send you the relevant pages. The song is in tamil script with english translation.
Here's the song... Corrections welcome

Kuratti

Tham di Tham – tharikitathaka thai ta thai tharikitathaka
Thadith thaka tham – thaka dith thaka jam
Thai di di thai – thai thai di di thai – thai thai thai di di thai

Pacha mala pavala mala yengalada Nadu
Pal Mogudum keerthiperum yengalada Nadu
Eichchai tarum kalaighayellam niraindurukum Nadu
Yellorum inbamurum iniya tamil Nadu || Pa ||

Vanarangal kanikoduthu mandiyodu konjum
Mandisindum kanighalukku Vankapigal kenjum
Thenaruvi tinaiaruvi vaninvali ongum
Sengadirom panikalam teerkalam valangum

Kilangukili theneduthu valamari nadippom
Kempuliyum kombodithu thengu thaniya idippom
Kudagunirai punalaruvi kilangina muthadum
Muthra mengum parathi pengal thithinai kondadum

Tham tham thadim thaka dim dim thadinthaka dim dim
Thadinthaka dim dim thathaginathom || Pa ||

Kollimalai yenakkuyilaya sellimalai amme
Kolundanaku kannimalai Palanimalai amme
Sellinamgal mulungukotta mailinamgal aadum
Thirukoodamalai yengal sellvamalai amme

Kailai yennum vadamalaikku therku malai amme
Kanaka mahameruyin nirkumalai amme
Vairamudan manikyam vilaiyum malai amme
Vaaniravi ilaigal thorum oliya malai amme
