‘Siapa Baba’

Music & Lyrics by Baba Alvin Oon

 

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba Ba Ba Ba

 

I am Baba, it’s true to the core, I am Baba, my culture I adore

Saya kata, I speak patois, my Mandarin’s half past six

My language English, Malay, Hokkien mix

 

Ba-ba-ba-ba!

 

I am Baba, I love Nyonya food, my mother’s is the best of all, the rest all not so good

I love laksa, mesti rasa my mum’s otak-otak

Gua suka makan ayam buah keluak

 

BRIDGE

I love kaya in the morning (in the morning)

I love joget, dancing free (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba…)

I love playing with my kakis

Main mahjong and cherki!

 

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba Ba Ba Ba

 

I am Baba, my Nyonya is best (Nyonya is best), Nyonya in Kebaya, I love her in that dress

(ah…ah…ah…ah…) Young or old, they naik sanggol, so manis so chantek

My Nyonya jalan tergelek-gelek (Ba-ba-ba-ba)

 

I am Baba, it’s true to the core, (true to the core) I am Baba, my culture I adore

(ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…) Though things will change and rearrange but this is how I’ll stay

I am Baba, I’m proud to be this way (Ba-ba-ba-ba)

 

(ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…) Though things will change and rearrange but this is how we’ll stay

Kita Baba, we’re proud to be this way (Ba-ba-ba-ba)

 

Kita Baba, we’re proud to be this way (Ba-ba-ba-ba)

(retard) Kita Baba, we’re proud to be… this…way  

 

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba, Ba-ba

Siapa Baba, Ba-ba, Ba Ba Ba Ba
