山歌唱来句句通，
                                            人生唔好看人穷，
                                            几多穷苦也会富，
                                            几多富贵又变穷，
                                            百万家财败到空。

                                            百万家财败到空，
                                            上邻下舍借唔通，
                                            屋漏又遭连夜雨，
                                            船破偏遇当头风，
                                            无人搭救在海中。

                                            无人搭救在海中，
                                            人生最怕落难穷，
                                            前朝有个吕蒙正，
                                            无屋居住炭窑洞，
                                            该因那时运不通。

                                            该因那时运不通，
                                            勤奋学习下苦功，
                                            三月初九开科考，
                                            金榜题名在朝中，
                                            七省巡按立大功。

                                            七省巡按立大功，
                                            前朝还有姜太公，
                                            八十高龄行老运，
                                            文王如诘匠校
                                            庶民百姓皆赞颂。

                                            庶民百姓皆赞颂，
                                            自古人穷志不穷，
                                            老古言语都有讲，
                                            一年之计在于春，
                                            打算唔对一世穷。
