1. Mencece Bujang Lapok

Oh, mencece, mencece, mencece
Oh, mencece, mencece, mencece
.
Bujang lapuk pakai songkok
Basikal cabuk tak pernah gosok
Tayar kempis roda bengkok
Badan pipis macam keropok
.
Bujang lapuk keliling kampung
Naik basikal hai pakai sarung
Minum air dah naik kembung
Sakit perut terpekik terlolong
.
Hai Bujang lapuk tak boleh harap
Basikal cabuk dah naik kurap
Baru putus hai urat sarap
Masuk angin keluar asap
.
Bujang lapuk loyar buruk
Sana sini hai bikin sebok
Naik basikal hal macam beruk
Tak ada kerja tolak abuk
.
Oh mencece, mencece, mencece Oh mencece, mencece, mencece
Oh, mencece, mencece, mencece
Oh, mencece, mencece, mencece
.
Old Bachelors wearing songkoks
Useless bicycle, has never been polished
With flat tyres, and bent wheels
And thin bodies like keropok
.
Old bachelors, going round the village
On a bicycle, wearing sarongs
Drinks water, and gets gas
And stomach-ache, screaming and shouting
.
Hey old bachelors, you can't be relied on
Your useless bicycles have ringworms
Your nerves are tired
Wind enters smoke exits (lit)
.
Old bachelors, talks big
Here and there, minding people's business
On a bicycle like a monkey
With no work, pushing dust
.
Oh mencece, mencece, mencece Oh mencece, mencece, mencece
.

2. Pok Pok Bujang Lapok

La. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la ....
.
Pok Pok Pok Bujang lapok
Ada mancis tak ada rokok
Jalan jauh tersenggok-senggok
Tumit melecet hai lutut terbengkok
.
Pok Pok Pok Bujang lapok
Poket kosong hai penuh habuk
Tak da nasi pakai cencaluk
Sampai kini terlupa cebok
.
Jalan yang mana hai tolonglah tunjuk
Jalan lurus, ai, jalan belok-belok
Aku dah penat, terbatuk-batuk
Bau asem Hai ketiak siapa busuk
.
La. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la.
.
Pok Pok Pok Bujang lapok
Kena bantai tulang rusuk
Jalan senget terhangguk-hangguk
Jumpa doktor tampal koyok
.
Bujang Lapok ....
La. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la ....
.
Pok pok pok Old Bachelors
Got matches, but no cigerattes
Walk far, head-butting away
Heels blister, knees giving away
.
Pok pok pok Old Bachelors
Empty pockets full of dust
Without rice, so they eat prawn pickle
But they forgot to wash their hands
.
Which way is it ? Please tell me
Straight road or the winding one ? 
I'm tired and caughing
It's smelly, whose armpit is it ? 
.
La. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la. . la.
.
Pok pok pok Old Bachelors
Get beaten up in the ribs
Can't walk straight nodding away
Visit the doctor paste 'medicated plaster'
.
Old bachelors ...
.
