My Name Is Long. Ba-Long-Long

The old dog walks He is not at all shy His balonglong swinging Like churchbells in the sky My ah gong is skinny old Like most aged gents I know And his khaki shorts like umbrella His balonglong macham wayang show Balonglong balonglong Why you hang there like balonglong My encik in camp will always shout When he sees us very free "You guys balonglong never salute Drop and give me twenty!" When I was a child I like to hang out at the mamak shop For that yellow fruit in a preserve jar That "Eat too much your teeth will rot!" Balonglong balonglong Why you hang there like balonglong Many fanciful names you have From 'balonglong' to 'kedondong' You are indeed an international agent Better than "My name is Bond. James Bond." Have songs been made of you A play, movie or two? Have girls held you tenderly And be reminded of a sweetheart too? Balonglong balonglong Why you hang there like balonglong So next time you see a friend" So free bo dai chi jor" Ask him why he so balonglong And invite him out for kopi-O The end - by TC Lai, 26th May 2015 Note: Balonglong is slang for cocky (same as yaya papaya), hanging loose and easy.
