Singapur-AH

The following endless song is a spoof of our lovely national song Singapura O Singapura. I remember willing my sluggish self to sing the song sluggishly in school, and all of us kids are swaying sluggishly and singing together. I think the songwriter was high/dopey when the melody was written.

I have to admit that I was inspired by the Saturday Night Life skit "Opera man", in which a young Adam Sandler was singing the news and other current affairs. It was entertaining, yet informative.

Singapur-AH!
All lan lan LAH
Follow gov-AH
Got no rights to fight

Singapur-AH!
Oh politic-AH
PAP-YAH
Say we go fly kite

Come along, it's no wrong, so please start voting,
We need more choices;
Less white shirt voices!

Singapur-AH!
Commando dunk-AH
Like Allan Ooi-YAH
We're left hanging dry

Singapur-AH!
Oh FT prosp-AH
We apathet-AH
We all don't care why

Come along, Lee Hsien Loong, do the leadin,
Tuck Yew bitchin,
Tharman a-shinin!

Singapur-AH!
We like the class-AH.
Like poison Roj-AH,
We don't like the C.

Singapur-AH!
We police stat-AH.
Say the wrong-AH,
Get screwed like Dr Chee.

Come along, Gan Kim Yong, start employin,
Hwee Hua tokenin,
Swee Say centre-partin!

Singapur-AH!
No nepotis-TAH,
It's merito-KRAH,
So say Mentor Lee.

Singapur-AH!
Is run by cheen-AH,
Middle-class-AH,
All vote PAP.

Come along, Kan Seng Wong, start protectin,
Yaacob waterin,
"Vivian" is masculin!

Singapur-AH!
Small red dot-TAH, (Indonesia called us that)
Little boog-AH, (Taiwan called us that)
But big in ASEAN.

Singapur-AH!
Discriminat-AH,
Hate the Ah Kwa,
We got Thio Li-Ann.

Come along, Goh Chok Tong, play more golf-O,
Teach to George Yeo, (George Yeo claims he plays "poor golf")
Boon Heng boh folio!

Singapur-AH!
We like to sue-WAH,
JBJay-AH,
Still got debt to pay.

Singapur-AH!
We so safe-AH,
Complancenc-YAH
Let Mas get away.

Come along, Chiam See Tong, people love you.
Old is still new.
Just ask Lee Kuan Yew.

Singapur-AH!
Election rigg-AH.
Vote can buy-AH.
In every GRC.

Singapur-AH!
Birth rates dropp-AH,
We'll make more kids-AH,
In some other country!
