A more fun, cheerful NDP song by MFD23
Intro
Singapore got four official languages... but somehow everybody still understands 'Lah!'
Verse 1
Morning rush, MRT so packed,
Everybody chope seat, never slack.
Auntie say, "Eh, faster makan!"
Uncle shout, "Tapao first, can!"
Kopi peng, siew dai, shiok until fly,
Office reach already, aiyoh why?
ERP beep, wallet cry,
"Heng got payday!" if not, die die.
Verse 2
Boss keep arrow, kena again,
Work until sian, nearly insane.
Kaypoh colleague ask, "Eh, what happen?"
I smile only, paiseh lah, can.
Blur sotong forget the file,
Boss pek chek for quite a while.
Bo bian lor, ownself settle,
Steady finish, never rattle.
Pre-Chorus
Life got suay, life got heng,
Sometimes cry, sometimes sing.
Don't sabo, don't hao lian,
Together we all one kampung clan.
Chorus
Lah, lor, leh, meh—
Singapore talk every day!
Shiok, sian, bo jio, can,
Everybody understand.
Kiasu chase, kiasi run,
Still can laugh and have some fun.
No matter where we come from,
Singlish makes us all feel home!
Verse 3
Weekend jio all the kakis out,
"Where we makan?" everybody shout.
Atas café? Hawker stall?
Honestly, shiok beats all.
Chicken rice, satay smoke,
Someone crack a bo liao joke.
Catch no ball? Never mind,
Laugh together, all one kind.
Verse 4
National Day fireworks high,
Ang moh also say, "Wah, nice sia!"
Ah Beng dance, Ah Lian sing,
Everybody join the swing.
Tok kong city, small but strong,
Different races sing along.
Can or not? Confirm can!
Singapore number one, lah!
Pre-Chorus
Life got suay, life got heng,
Sometimes cry, sometimes sing.
Don't pray pray, don't play play,
Smile together every day.
Chorus
Lah, lor, leh, meh—
Singapore talk every day!
Shiok, sian, bo jio, can,
Everybody understand.
Kiasu chase, kiasi run,
Still can laugh and have some fun.
No matter where we come from,
Singlish makes us all feel home!
Outro
When life gets jialat,
We still say, "Can lah!"
When things become messy,
"Bo bian lor."
When food is delicious,
"Shiok!"
When friends don't invite,
"Bo jio!"
Different words, one heart,
That's Singapore from the start.
Ending
Eh Singapore... 61 years already ah? Walao eh, steady pom pi pi! Happy 61st National Day! Stay shiok, stay tok kong, don't sian, don't sabo one another, and together we chiong all the way! Majulah Singapura... can lah!
