My Ringgit goes Shalalalala

Written in 20161113, posted here today, a parody about the shrinking Malaysian Ringgit, sung to the tune of Shalalalala.

My ringgit goes shalala lala . . .

There's a ringgit in my purse and its value has been sinking,
All the way to the day and the night till dark clouds surround me.
He's going down for some time, now that started me thinking.
And I'm singing a song, hoping he'll bounce back when he hears me.

[Chorus]

My ringgit goes shalala lala,
going down in the morning,
Oh oh oh, shalala lala,
when will it ever see sunshine.
Shalala lala,
losing its value in the evening.
Shalala lala,
making life hard for you . . .

Haze, Dude

The haze is all around us in Malaysia . . .

Haze, Dude, don't make it bad,
It's been so long, yet not gettin' better.
Remember who let all the fires spread,
Only you can start to make things better

Haze, Dude, we're so afraid,
You were supposed to put out the fires.
The minute you let them burn all your greens,
Then you'll never begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel our pain,
Hey, Dude, refrain,
Don't carry the fires upon your jungles.
For well you know that we're no fools,
Who asks you to
Start making our world a little cooler.

Nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah nah . . .
