My Gran came from Alabama with a banjo on her knee,
My sister came from Malaysia with a parang in her hand,
My Dad came from America with a burger in his mouth,
My Mom came from Singapore with a new handphone in her house,
My cousin came from Australia with a koala in a cage,
My Aunt came from Britain with a new contact on her page,
Oh, me?
I came from school with homework in my bag!
