Original tune is a hokkien song 破衫破褲沒人補 (spoil shirt and pants no one help to sew) my father told me that during his army times everyone use to sing this song
I miss NS It was one of the most fun part in my life. Dread it when I about to enlist,hate it when I enlist,love it when I about to ROD,miss it when it think of it. Make very good friends in it. Eat together,sleep together,shit together,suffer and enjoy together. Totally enjoy my time in NS In fact during my 10 years reservist, I enjoy even it more with all good buddies together. 10 years was never enough lolll
June 23 was a bad day / Twas also my enlistment date / Gettin up at 7-8 to take a cab / Finally got here to CMPB / Aiyoh / When I reached the CMPB / Commander kept my pink IC / Ordered me inside for checkup / Then sent me off to ITD / ITD was a 3-floor building / Twas also my holiday home / Got chair, bed & metal locker / Army uniform, slacks, all have / Aiyoh / 2 black stripes is called Corporal / 3 black stripes is called Sergeant / 3 black stripes + a crab / That one's called a CSM / Aiyoh
This song brought back lots of memories..i rem we sang this song in Tekong in 1993 when i served my BMT. It was fun then..I'm attending my MR ceremony soon so it sought of bring back happy and sad feelings..
good news, yesterday while i was in camp, i heard the new cadets singing this song... Finally, we have probably military songs and they are catching on :D
Late 90's version June 23 is my bad day. It is also my enlistment day. Early morning take taxi Taxi brought me to CMPB ah. *Aiyo aiyo Ai Aiyo ah... Aiyo aiyo Ai Aiyo… When I reached CMPB Army took away my Pink I.C Take liao I.C ,take tonner Tonner brought me to *Nee Soon Camp* ah.

Upstair, downstair run till u die. No.3 and no.4, don't know why i keep changing ah. * Morning training till night fall. Dig hole, pumping , SOC. Most jialat is to run 5click. Sometime still must carry casualty ah. * One day only earns 3dollars. Two days only earn 6dollars. Three days only earn 9dollars. Want to go geylang short of 1 dollars ah. *Aiyo aiyo Ai Aiyo ah... Aiyo aiyo Ai Aiyo..
I served my NS during 2007-2009 as obese batch. Never regret, tough as hell but it teaches you that life its not served in a dinner plate, you got to water your rice, till you harvest it, process it by hand and steam it. I enjoyed it, one near miss death but hell yeah~ ROD lor~

those were the day..looking back 😢 tear and good memorie😢when ever i heart the this song and the national anthem i cant hold my tear flowing out Majulah Singapora,,..
Hi neighbour. Yeah, the infamous 3 door bunk was next to our toilet and no one dared to use it alone at night. Sometimes, our "sick" sergeants made us had supper in that bunk. Strange things happened to my company mates and I was glad not sharing their experiences with the unknown.
Translation, try to make it the same as the tune to singalong with: 23rd June is a bad day/It was my my enlistment day/Wake up early take taxi/Finally came to CMPB ah/Aiyo Aiyo Ai Aiyo x2 When I reached CMPB/Commander kept my pink IC/Call me go in check body/And then send me to ITD ah/Aiyo Aiyo Ai Aiyo x2 ITD's a 3-storey building/Also my holiday resort/Got chair, got bed and metal cupboard/Also have army uniform ah/Aiyo Aiyo Ai Aiyo x2 to be continued....
@cheeseinc91 i think the intro is played with an A chord then it goes halfway through the verse and it changes to an E chord then back to the A chord again...the ai yo ai yo ai ai yo part sounds like A to F#m to Bm to A for the first time and then A to Bm to F#m to A for the second time...the progressions for both the verse and chorus should be the same...also possible to play it with G D Em and Am with a capo on 2nd fret instead of A E F#m and Bm but i can't test that out coz i dun have a capo.
This song brought tears to my eyes. The sudden flashes of fear and panic (ok, there were laughters and fun too) of remembering my first day in the army. Damn, that was so long ago (Tekong Charlie Jun 92 intake) and still haunting me. hahaha

English lyrics (badly translated):
June 23 is a bad day
That is my enlistment day
7, 8am take taxi
Sit and go to CMPB [1]
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh ah
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh.
When I get to CMPB
Cut hair give them red IC [2]
Call me go and check body
Then they send me to ITD [3]
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh ah
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh.
ITD got three storey

Got desk got bed got lockers
Army uniform all also got
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh ah
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh.
Black black two stripe called Corporal
Black black three stripe called Sergeant
Black black three stripe plus one crab [4]
That one is called CSM [5]
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh ah
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh.
Sergeant sometimes not happy
Run up run down till you die
Number 3 and Number 4 [6]
Nothing to do change up change down
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh ah
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh.
Army train from morning till night
Dig hole touch grass do SOC [7]
Most tiring is five klick run
Sometimes soldiers get hurt by it.
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh ah
Aiyoh aiyoh ai ai yoh.
Soldier pay one day $3
Soldier pay two days $6
Soldier pay three days $9
Want prostitute I short $1

1) CMPB = Central ManPower Base
2) Red IC - Now pink IC
3) ITD = Infantry Training Depot (now BMT; Basic Military Training)
4) Crab = Singapore coat of arms
5) CSM = Company Sergeant Major
6) No 3 and No 4 = different types of uniforms
7) SOC = Standard Obstacle Course
I don't speak Hokkien and my Chinese is crap so I am sure there are mistakes.

Here's a better one:
June 23rd is a terrible day
Which is my enlistment day
I took the taxi in the morning
At last I went to CMPB
Aiyo aiyo ai aiyo *2
When I sign up at CMPB
The officer took away my IC
I was told to do body check
Before being assigned to ITD
Aiyo aiyo ai aiyo *2
At ITD there's a three storey house
Which is also a resort hotel
Complete with desks, beds and lockers
Army uniforms are in there too
Aiyo aiyo ai aiyo *2
Two black stripes means Corporal
Three black stripes means Sergeant
Three black stripes and a "crab" (coat of arms)
Means this man is a CSM
Aiyo aiyo ai aiyo *2
If the Sergeant gets angry
He will make you run up and down
No. 3 and No. 4 uniforms
We switch uniforms for no reason at all
Aiyo aiyo ai aiyo *2
We train from morning to night
Digging holes, stabbing grass and doing SOC
The worst of all is a 5km run
Sometimes we have to carry casualties
Aiyo aiyo ai aiyo *2
Being a soldier earns me $3 daily
That would be $6 for two days
I'll earn $9 in three days
I need $1 more for a prostitute
Aiyo aiyo ai aiyo *2
Jia hon Chu mean bungalow
those were the day..looking back 😢 tear and good memorie😢when ever i heart the this song and the national anthem i cant hold my tear flowing out Majulah Singapora,,..
I remember that song... brings back memories of NS days...
以前看戏的时候我听到南哥唱：有时koh tio kerng "契小弟”

i think because of ah boys to men, it will become another trending route march song lor
Yes this was the version we sang. Slightly different in some parts though
Hi neighbour. Yeah, the infamous 3 door bunk was next to our toilet and no one dared to use it alone at night. Sometimes, our "sick" sergeants made us had supper in that bunk. Strange things happened to my company mates and I was glad not sharing their experiences with the unknown.

@cheeseinc91 i think the intro is played with an A chord then it goes halfway through the verse and it changes to an E chord then back to the A chord again...the ai yo ai yo ai ai yo part sounds like A to F#m to Bm to A for the first time and then A to Bm to F#m to A for the second time...the progressions for both the verse and chorus should be the same...also possible to play it with G D Em and Am with a capo on 2nd fret instead of A E F#m and Bm but i can't test that out coz i dun have a capo.

this song was sung during my NCC and army days
mixture of language like ours then u can identify that '"this one confirm singaporean'" no matter where u r .. uniquely singapore
@benjamintwy many thanks with the translations! ^^ The Hokkien is very much different from mine which kinda confusing to some extend. Hahahaha!
No this song old song i knew it long time ago.

This song brought tears to my eyes. The sudden flashes of fear and panic (ok, there were laughters and fun too) of remembering my first day in the army. Damn, that was so long ago (Tekong Charlie Jun 92 intake) and still haunting me. hahaha

Der Fledermausmann is actually a hokkien song named 破衫破褲沒人補
@MIKHAIL1181 yaeh, i saw it just a moment ago, but somehow i can't find the english verison,.
depends on where u are...either master staff sergent or staff sergent
I can't believe people will make hokkien videos like this
got run 6km with FBO that is for those who wanna be "PE teacher" in army
3km followed by SOC follow by 3km...
timing not sure
