TOPSIDE GALAH!
THAT nightee teem he come chop, chop,
One young man walkee, no can stop,
Colo makee; icee makee;
He got flag; chop b'long welly culio, see—
Topside Galah!
He too muchee folly; one piecee eye
Lookee sharp—so fashion—alla same mi;
He talkee largee, talkee stlong,
To muchee culio; alla same gong—
Inside any house he can see light;
Any piecee loom got fire all light;
He lookee see plenty ice more high,
Inside he mouf he plenty cly—
Topside Galah!
"No can walkee!" olo man speakee he;
"Bimeby lain come, no can see;
Hab got water welly wide!"
Maskee, mi must go topside—
Topside Galah!
"Man-man," one galo talkee he,
"What for you go topside look see?"
"Nother teem," he makee plenty cly,
Maskee, alla teem walkee plenty high—
Topside Galah!
"Take care that spilum tlee, young man;
Take care that icee!" he no man-man
That coolie chin-chin he good-night;
He talkee "mi can go all light"—
Topside Galah!
Joss pidgin man chop-chop begin,
Morning teem that Joss chin-chin,
No see any man, he plenty fear,
Cause some man talkee, he can hear—
Young man makee die; one largee dog see
Too muchee bobbery, findee he.
Hand too muchee colo, inside can stop
Alla same piecee flag, got culio chop—
Topside Galah!
