Sayang

Once upon a time there were only trees

And a lion or two enjoying the breeze

Then a boat arrived one sunny day

And human beings were here to stay

Well, the king of the jungle couldn’t really complain

He got the whole damn island named after him

And as for the lions here’s news for you

You can see their descendants at the Mandai Zoo

The island since has come very far

All thanks to the man named Utama

No we couldn’t forget him if we tried

Eh, what about Raffles (We love that guy)

So here we are having so much fun

Can hardly believe this was a jungle once

Sometimes I can still hear the lion’s roar going

Singa Singa Pore

One, two sing

Now we can explain in a little while

This is not an ordinary tropical isle

Everything we have has to be the best

Of the fabulous East and the wonderful West

Of all the things we’ve got that’s good

At the top of everybody’s list is food

We’ve got prata (from Indian)

Mee Pok (from Chinese) so sedap

What about the ketupat (from Malays) at the Satay Club

If no Chye Tow Kway (fried carrot cake) then Kai Fan (chicken rice) lor

Eat till you faint so cheap some more

Ya the best thing has to be the price

Singapore’s my Fried Rice Paradise!

We can eat eat eat till we nearly drop

Then we all get up and we shop shop shop

And if you asked us how we rate this place

We’ll just say this It’s great

Una, Renda, Muna

Let’s talk about work it’s quite OK

Life here’s like a holi holiday

We take things easy there’s no big rush

Unlike the other island north to us

We work then makan watch a film

Enjoying the fruits of tourism

There are so plenty tourists but we loved they spending money what

I know I made it when on my own

I can afford a pager plus a cordless phone

In my family I wish for miss Singapore

And more than 2 kids

Success to us just simply means

That such thing as a Singapore Dreams

And why you all don’t want to say

You just want lots of money lay…

Satu, dua, Tiga
