| Parody Song Title: | "The Sound of Kiasuism" |
| Parody Written by: | Composer-Conductor |
Singaporeans are really one of a kind; they go for big grabs. That's called KIASUISM; being scared to lose out to others. That's why they love buffets because they get to pile their plates to the brim with food - at low, standardised prices.Again, some Singlish:Aiyah: an exclamation of shock Lah: a word that always appears at the back of a Singaporeans' conversation.
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
Singaporeans begin with kiasuism
For all their lives they feel they CAN'T LOSE FACE
(Chorus)
CAN'T LOSE FACE
When they were born they happened to be SCARED TO LOSE
(Chorus)
SCARED TO LOSE
Kiasu means they scared to lose
Aiyah, make things easier lah...
First of all, you can't lose face
You must always jump the queue
Cheap is good; look for discount
Keep the things that you have found
Rushing pushing wins the race
Grab first just before you talk
Sample all things on the spot
That's a lesson for Singaporeans
When it's free, you must grab it
Help yourself to everything
Borrow something don't return
I don't think that's very mean
'Cause you cannot lose your face
That's a very shameful case
Never mind what others think
Think of yourself and all your gains!
Kiasuism means scared to lose, you know!
A very good place to start
Singaporeans begin with kiasuism
For all their lives they feel they CAN'T LOSE FACE
(Chorus)
CAN'T LOSE FACE
When they were born they happened to be SCARED TO LOSE
(Chorus)
SCARED TO LOSE
Kiasu means they scared to lose
Aiyah, make things easier lah...
First of all, you can't lose face
You must always jump the queue
Cheap is good; look for discount
Keep the things that you have found
Rushing pushing wins the race
Grab first just before you talk
Sample all things on the spot
That's a lesson for Singaporeans
When it's free, you must grab it
Help yourself to everything
Borrow something don't return
I don't think that's very mean
'Cause you cannot lose your face
That's a very shameful case
Never mind what others think
Think of yourself and all your gains!
Kiasuism means scared to lose, you know!
