Penang Penang!

Following on from CMOS comment of: Holy shite!!! You studied in Penang??? Damn... I feel so proud of my dinky island now... hehehe... ^_^ Here is the Penang Song I promised, as demonstrated by three lonely sailors on shore leave: OZZIE: Come on, Gabey, hurry up! CHIP: Twenty-four hours! SAILOR: Hey, why don't ya look where you're goin'. You'd think it was your first time in Penang! GABEY: It is! (The sailors look around them, happily absorbing the scene.) GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE: Penang, Penang! It's a wonderful place! GABEY: We've got one day here and not another minute To see the famous sights! OZZIE: We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it Beneath the Geoerge Town lights; But we've hair on our chests So what we like the best are the nights Sights! Lights! Nights! GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE: Penang, Penang, a wonderful place. Penang Hill's up, and there's plenty of space. Penang women have plenty poise and grace. Penang, Penang, it's a wonderful place! CHIP: (points to Komtar Building) Hey, Gabey! Gabey, look. (consulting his guidebook with reverence and excitement) Gabey, it says here "There are 20,000 Mamaks in Penang, not counting Tanjong Tokong Road the heart of Island Plaza, a charming thoroughfare filled with..." OZZIE: Here we go again! CHIP: The famous places to visit are so many, Or so the guidebooks say. I promised Daddy I wouldn't miss on any. And we have just one day. Got to see the whole place From George Town across to Batu Feringhi. GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE: In just one day! Penang, Penang, a visitor's place, Where no one lives on account of the pace, With one million tourists ice creaming their face. Penang, Penang, it's a visitor's place! (Two sailors enter, weaving and weary-looking - one happy, one very glum.) GABEY: Hey! Look who's comin' back! It's Tom and Andy! OZZIE: Hey, Tom, Andy! Hey, fellas, how are the Penang dames? ANDY: Wonderful - I don't remember a thing! TOM: Awful! I remember everything! (Tom and Andy exit.) OZZIE: George Town women are dressed in silk and satin, Or so the fellas say; There's just one thing that's important in Pasir Panjang, When you have just one day; Gotta pick up a date... CHIP: Maybe seven... OZZIE: Or eight On your way. GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE: In just one day! Penang, Penang, a wonderful place. Penang Hill's up, and there's plenty of space. One million tourists with ice cream on their face. Penang, Penang, it's a wonderful place!!!
