Suddenly remembered Dick Lees Rasa Sayang and told my kids about this rap that we all knew in sec school. Found it on Google. If you know this, you belonged to an awesome generation! ---- Rasa sayang Eh Rasa sayang sayang eh Hey lihat nona jauh Rasa sayang sayang eh Rasa 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 couldnt really complain He got the whole damn island named after him And as for the lions heres news for you You can see their descendents at the Mandai Zoo The island since has come very far All thanks to the man named Utama No we couldnt 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 lions 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 weve got thats good At the top of everybodys list is FOOD Weve 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 Singapores 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 Well just say this ITS GREAT Una, Renda, Muna Rasa sayang Eh Rasa sayang sayang eh Hey lihat nona jauh Rasa sayang sayang eh Lets talk about work its quite OK Life heres like a holi holiday We take things easy theres no big rush Though we got slowed down because of SARS We work then makan watch a film Now got no more crowd no more tourism Last time so plenty tourists but They scared got germs got bombing what But on my own I can still can grow My mobile phone can take photo I never have to live in fear Coz life is just like heaven here Life in heaven is sometimes fast The Holy Trinity is watching us And who are they dont you know The father,the son, and the Holy Goh One, Two, Three Rasa sayang Eh Rasa sayang sayang eh Hey lihat nona jauh Rasa sayang sayang eh
