Ah, Singapore

Shonen Knife, written in Japanese as 少年ナイフ, which transliterates as Shōnen Naifu, literally "Boy Knife," is an all-female Japanese pop-punk band formed in Osaka, Japan, in 1981. Heavily influenced by 1960s girl groups, pop bands, The Beach Boys, and early punk rock bands, such as the Ramones, the trio crafts stripped-down songs expressing infectious melodies and simplistic, exuberant lyrics sung both in Japanese and English. more »

Little girl said Chinese dumplings taste so good
And the tourists take pictures of the Phoenix all around the town
Singapore, ah, Singapore

Many tall skyscrapers standing all in a row
In this Asian country just North of the Equator, oh
Singapore, ah, Singapore

You can't buy chewing gum anywhere in Singapore
But you can buy peppermint candy 'cause you eat it 'til it's gone
Singapore, ah, Singapore
