A cannibal king with a fat nose ring
Fell in love with a hula dame
And every night in the clear moonlight
Over the lake he came (Boing)
He hugged and kissed his pretty little miss
Under the bamboo tree
And every night in the clear moonlight
It sound like this to me
Ar-room muah muah (2x)

Ar-room muah muah (2x)
Ar-room doola doola eh

Three Little Ducklings
​
Three little duckling I once knew
Fat one skinny one just like you
But the one little duckling with
a feather on its back
It ruled the others with a
Quack, quack, quack!
Down by the river they would go
Wibble wobble wibble wobble to and fro
But the one little duckling with
a feather on its back
It ruled the others with a
Quack, quack , quack!
Home from the river they would come
Wibble wobble wibble wobble ho hum hum
But the one little duckling with
a feather on its back
It ruled the others with a
Quack , quack , quack!
Purple Light​
​
Purple light, in the valley
This is where, I wanna be
With my three
Close companions
With my CIs, my buddies and me
ATC, si bei jia lat
STC, lagi worse
Everyday, doing PT
With my CIs, my buddies and me
​
Going out, to see my girlfriend
Saw her with, another man
Broken heart, back to NP
With CIs, my buddies and me
​
Purple light at the warfront
This is where, ny buddy lies
If I die, bury me here
With my CIs, my buddies and me
I Asked My Love
​
I ask my love, to take a walk
To take a walk, down Orchard Road
By pass Mandarin, to Centrepoint
Where we had lunch, at McDonald's
We had fillet, and an apple pie
And shared a cup of lemon lime
I held her hands, looked into her eyes
And asked her to, be my Valentine
Now I'm confined, in NPCC
I miss her so, my sweet honey
I promised her, when I book out
I'll call her out, and date her out
There was one night, we went night hike
There was no light, so we used torchlight
Under the clear moonlight,
Looked into her eyes
I asked her to, be my future wife
But she rejected me, she turned me down
She turned her head, and say goodbye
I was so sad, now that she had gone
So I turned my way, to the airport
When I reached airport, I was alone
I looked around, and saw my love
There was one guy, standing beside her
I was so sad, so I departed
So I named this song, a sad sad song
Cause it breaks my heart, and fills me with tears
Oh my darling, now that you have gone
Let me alone, to sing this song
By the Light of the Silvery Moon
​
By the light
(Not the dark but the light)
Of the silvery moon
(Not the sun but the moon)
I want to spoon
(Not the fork but the spoon)
To my honey, I croon love’s tune
Honey moon
(Oh honey moon)
Keep on shining in June
(Not in May but in June)
Your silvery beams will bring love’s dream
We’ll be cuddling soon
(Not too fast but too soon)
By the silvery moon
(Not the sun but the moon)
Moonlight Bay
​
We were sailing along
(We were sailing along)
On the moonlight bay
(On the moonlight bay)
We could hear the voices singing
(Singing)
They seem to say
(What did they say)
You have stolen my heart
(I have stolen your heart)
Now don’t go away
(I won’t go away)
As we sing the old love sweet song
(Sweet song)
On moonlight bay
(On moonlight bay)
Five Hundred Miles​
​
If you miss the train I’m on
You will know that I am gone
You will hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles (4x)
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I’m one, Lord I’m two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m four
Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home
Away from home (4x)
Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can’t go back home this-a way
This-a way (4x)
Lord I can’t go back home this-a way
Linger
​
Mm hm I want to linger here
Mm hm a little longer here
Mm hm a little longer here with you
Mm hm it’s such a perfect night
Mm hm it doesn’t seem quite right
Mm hm this is our last night here with you

Mm hm and as the years go by
Mm hm I think of you and sigh
Mm hm this is goodnight and not goodbye
