Singapore dialect
Our Singlish tact
Words on the verge
Curl and emerge
Local utterings
In subconscious flings
Our common lingo
Tribal vertigo
Local mumbo-jumbo
Unless you know
Our dialect wears a glow
Here is a pulse deep
Even in our sleep
Our creole creeps
In Singlish taverns
Light hearts know heaven
Here is a pulse deep: Singlish is deeply rooted in us
creole: Bred in a country but of foreign origin
Our creole creeps: Singlish was created in Singapore but it is a combination of many languages and dialect
