I hear those Singapore sorrows, Singapore sorrows
Stealing around at night
Singapore sorrows, Singapore sorrows
Filling me so with fright

All through the gloom 
They go loud to your room
And while you sleep
They just keep right on through

Nothing but sadness, nothing but sadness
Why did you go astray
You will find gladness, you will find gladness
If you just stay away

That's what I heard
In that old China town
Singapore sorrows, Singapore sorrows
Following you around
