Discovered by the Portuguese
Near Malaya’s
rubber trees
Singapore, this
island nation,
A-buzz with Asian
syncopation!
Sir Stamford
Raffles’ trading post
Where now the Merlion
acts as host
Once by the Japanese
invaded…
Where the spice of life is traded!
Indians, Chinese
and Malay
Enjoy prosperity
today;
With GDP on lofty rung
What a long way it
has come!
Bustling markets, Asia’s
pride
Hub for travellers
world-wide…
High-rise and high-tech,
it can claim
“Lion City” as its name!
