SONG OF THE BURMESE LAND

Burmese land is like monkey land
a bothersome, troublesome place
Burmese land is like monkey land
Listen, I'll tell you so

The affluent government told the people
when ten o'clock strikes nine
Don't make a noise, don't make a nuiscance
Let the people sleep
Let the people sleep

If a permit you should get, you can make a noise
If anyone asks, you can say a permit we have got.

Always it's this feast, always it's that feast
Chinese, Burmese, Indian
Dun-dun-dun, dang dang dang
Boom boom boom, bang bang bang
A permit we have got
A permit we have got.

Burmese land is like monkey land
a bothersome, troublesome place
Burmese land is like monkey land
to the lunatic asylum I'm going.

Burmese land is like monkey land
a bothersome, troublesome place
Burmese land is like monkey land
to the lunatic asylum I'm going.

- L. Hazlewood
