Rasa Sayang (Remastered) - Dick Lee

Rasa sayang eh

Rasa sayang sayang eh

Lihat nona dari 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 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

All 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 three

Rasa sayang eh rasa sayang sayang eh

Eh 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 mee pok so sedap

What about the ketupat at the satay club

If no chye tow kway then kai fan 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

1 2 3

Rasa sayang eh rasa sayang sayang eh

Eh 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 it easy there's no big rush

Unlike the other island north of us

We work then makan watch a film

Enjoy the fruits of tourism

There are so plenty tourists but

We love their spending money what

I know I've made it when on my own

I can afford a pager plus a cordless phone

In my family I'd wish

For miss singapore and more than 2 kids
