Of old school types
Mrs Joyce Wong was the absolute favourite
Giving out pencils, rulers and chocolates
To pupils who excelled in their monthly tests
That’s why we always did out best
Singing and playing the piano with such gusto
In concert ‘Rose of Joy’, of sunbeams and dragon, oh!
Form 1D girls will always remember Miss Parameswari
Whose life we sure made a misery
Bullying her until we saw her cry
If she hated us, it’s no wonder why!
Young and dashing Chew Seng Buan we recall
We’re sure many girls for him did fall
He was also an officer with Boys’ Brigade
Who’s teachings to the boys will never fade
Lanky Miss Lim-Chuah Swee Eng, clad in cheongsam
Swaying gracefully like the coconut palm
Always sweet and demure in her ways
She sure got the guys in a daze!
We also remember kind Jessie David too
Who taught us in standard one and two
Her patience and kindness we never forget
Where are you, don’t you think it’s time we met?
To all the teachers who ever taught us Sorry for all our misdeeds or the fuss
We really thank God for giving you to us
Hope we meet again, chat and reminisce
OH CHING LAI
