Originally known as "The Gwailo Song", this song is about the great city of Hong Kong from the point of view of a whingeing expat.
Lyrics:
...We are the ones with longer, straighter noses
...And some of us have been here far too long.
...We don`t get time to stop and smell the roses
...And, anyway, they don`t have roses in Hong Kong.
I`d like to gaze across Victoria Harbour
But I can`t see through that cloud so thick and dark.
The harbour`s growing smaller by the hour,
And they destroy five hundred trees to build a park.
I`d never tried to live inside a shoebox
Until I came to work here in Hong Kong.
My friends all think I must be mad to stay here
But seven million people can`t be wrong.
When people spit or slam doors in your faces,
Bump into you and don`t say thanks or please,
Just be glad you don`t get hit by falling windows
Or fined for littering when you drop your keys.
The passengers on Hong Kong`s public transport
Speak loudly into little mobile phones.
And I dare not say, "Please speak a bit more softly."
Bus Uncle`s words are worse than sticks and stones.
Now Disneyland has come to Lantau Island
But Mickey Mouse is not the one to fear.
What`s the use of making all your millions
If Donald Duck should bring the bird flu here?
