Recently, my white MP,
nok on my door, and very kek ki.
Say ‘I’ve worked so hard, so vote for me’,
‘Or rubbish won’t be cleared, in your vicinty’.

I said ‘Dear MP of my GRC’,
‘Dun remember u, so please pardon me’.
‘I only saw you on TV’,
‘Dozing off and jiak liao bee’.

Last GE I voted for thee,
2% up in GST.
Cut CPF and up utility,
Are still very clear in my memory.

5 years later, then you come to me,
Fresh from your slumber of ivory.
Say that only, you can help me,
Escape from a life of poverty.

Just take a drive on CTE,
Count the number of gantries.
Or squeeze a ride on the MRT,
That has not been cleared for me

My life since the last GE,
Has been downhill though I voted PAP.
If I vote the same for your sleeping spree,
I can expect the same misery.

So this time round, I vote for somebody,
Who will kachiao you, to productivity.
Forms fill wrong, no big deal to me,
If there’s someone to speak up for Ah Bee.

So dear MP of GRC,
If life no improve, vote u cho simi?
