Lyrics

Ay yo
Shiok ah
Singapore nights
Chicken rice steady one
Lah lah lah

Morning sun the city wakes
Plastic trays and kopi breaks
Queue already never mind
Best one always worth the time
Auntie breast or thigh today
She just smile can can okay
香喷喷 xiāng pēn pēn smells amazing fills the air
Everybody looking there
Uncle chop with lightning speed
Every move is pure indeed
One more spoon of chili bright
Make my whole day feel alright

Eh bro don't play
This one number one okay
From Maxwell down to Bedok way
Every bite say wah okay

Chicken rice lah
Chicken rice lah
Shiok until I close my eyes ah
鸡饭最好 jī fàn zuì hǎo chicken rice is the best
Every day now
One more plate and I say wow
Chicken rice lah
Chicken rice lah
Steam go up into the sky ah
Mai tu liao
Come and try now
Everybody sing it loud now

Golden skin with sesame shine
Fragrant rice the taste divine
Dark soy dancing on the side
Ginger sauce my daily pride
老板 加一点辣 lǎobǎn jiā yìdiǎn là boss add a little more chili
Thank you boss wah sedap lah
Tourists come from everywhere
One small plate becomes affair
Table full we laugh all night
Different languages unite
English Mandarin Malay too
All because this dream came true

Woah oh
Shiok until cannot stop
好吃 好吃 hǎochī hǎochī delicious delicious
Woah oh
Beat go hotter never drop
Lah eh bro
One more round let's go

Chicken rice lah
Chicken rice lah
Heartbeat moving with the wok fire
鸡饭 万岁 jī fàn wànsuì long live chicken rice
Hands up higher
Taste that everybody admire
Chicken rice lah
Chicken rice lah
Hawker center full of laughter
Shiok forever
Rain or sunshine
Chicken rice is always mine

Singapore nights
One more bite
Lah
