I sing the young king's song
Who lived at the place
Where today's Hong Kong
He felt like a fool
Nothing to rule
One day he said:
"I'll return to you. My people from Sham Pooh".
He put his Shantung kimono on
His way home was long
When he arrived the pagodas were just set on fire - ohhh:
He's been away too long from the place
Where his heart was not through
