Lyrics:
Singapore is a better place than Hong Kong is,
We got more art and culture; all they got is biz,
We so stylo, they jus' vile-o, we speak Singlish—awmost English-lah!
Singapore is a smarter place than Hong Kong is,
We keep more of our history than Hong Kong did,
We so good tase, they jus' gone case, we speak Singlish—almost English-lah!
Can or not? Okay-lah.
We got mansions; they got boring office blocks;
We got quaysides; they jus' got a smelly dock;
Our shophouses—wah! So pretty; theirs all slums;
Our old buildings are renewed but theirs—where got?!
Singapore is a better place than Hong Kong is,
We got more art and culture; all they got is biz,
We so global, they just local, we speak Singlish—almost English-lah!
Eh? What they speak-ah? I don't know-Cantonese, izzit?
Singapore is a smarter place than Hong Kong is,
We keep more of our history than Hong Kong did,
We so wham-bam, they so ayam, we speak Singlish—almost English-lah!
Why you look at me lidat? You see me no up izzit?!
We more mature: Singaporeans all can vote;
They not ready: Hong Kongers still have to wait;
Democratic cities let their folk have voice;
We pick leaders (alamak! but not much choice!).
You say Hong Kong so world city.
We not stupid. We say Singapore, also can.
Eskew me, we very stylo-milo one awreddy okay.
Don't shy. Never see before izzit? Izzit?
Singapore is a better place than Hong Kong is,
We got more art and culture; all they got is biz,
We so hot one, they so kwai lan, we speak Singlish—almost English-lah!
So how? Can or not? Also can-lah! Izzit? Aiyeeah! Sudah-lah.
