Rasa Sayang

Rasa sayang eh
Rasa sayang sayang eh
Hey lihat nona jauh
Rasa sayang sayang eh

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
Rasa sayang eh
Rasa sayang sayang eh
Hey lihat nona jauh
Rasa sayang sayang eh

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
Rasa sayang eh
Rasa sayang sayang eh
Hey lihat nona jauh
Rasa sayang sayang eh

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
Rasa sayang eh
Rasa sayang sayang eh
Hey lihat nona jauh
