Mother, mother
The kids in school
Call me kiasu,
But all I am
I got it from you.

You bought for me
Big uniforms
A size too soon
And until them
I look cartoon.

Primary Two,
You bought textbooks
For Secondary Three,
I'll get A then;
Now I get Dee.

Then you got me
Tuition for Maths,
Language and Science,
Music and Sports,
And Omniscience.

Recess, you packed
Gain-weight tabets,
Vitamin pills.
They call me Hospital Nostrils.

Mother,mother
The kids in school
Call me kiasu,
But that's not me-
I guess it's you.
