Merlion City Now
Move with the times as change abounds;
Explore each choice to fill and trace;
Remember chimes that swirl around;
Loiter sure poise beyond mere space;
Indulge your quest with profound thought;
Open your eyes and clearly see;
Nudge awkward jest that troubles plot.
Chance upon highs that come to be;
Invest in things that reap fine gains;
Tell your story with Singlish* slang;
Yield to wild flings that speak of strain.
Now let it be such a big bang;
One way to tap the happy tale:
Wise up to grab the annual sale!
