Ode to our oppa
from all of us, near or far
from Anchorvale you preside,
at Compassvale we set sail
from Buangkok to Rivervale—
for the mandate we decide
and the wrongs we made right.

Gamxia Sengkang
for sending him to us,
and for warming cockles
at Kopitiam Square—
come at us, if you dare;
he will reject
your blank cheque,
we turned blue
and we say so freely
because of you
we made history.
