A canto-pop song written and sang by Sam Hui in the 1970s during the Oil Crisis. It used to be funny when I hear this song but these days with everything going up – except for my pay – it is no longer so.

Apparently, someone had the same idea in HK and created this Youtube Video. So I’ll ‘plugging’ it to share it with everyone who understands Cantonese. And while you are at it you might want to listen to this Teochew song too.

你怕我怕个个怕
烟加酒加屋租加
巴士加的士加多士芝士乜都加
加加加加加加

糖又加盐又加
成日咁加任佢话
其实无他你住人屋宇下
佢梗收卖路钱嗱两扎
买佢怕买佢怕要加就加总之惯啦

牛油又加蚝油又加
燃油又话每”卡”七个六
其实无他佢石油多到极
可惜真金白银贬哂值
冇法啦冇法啦佢加就加都由佢啦

红豆沙茶叶渣全部要加惨到极
陀累全家靠份粮点够食
卒之渣到匙豉油都冇滴
够啦啩够啦啩咪枕住加喂好了啩

时时话加年年话加
无尽咁加赶到绝
求助哪咤我望能生对翼
即刻飞上月球再揾过食
就冇有怕冇有怕佢加就加 bye-bye啦

(加加加加我怕怕
我怕怕加加加加)

人人话加频频话加
成日咁加任佢话
其实无他我做人多说话
系啲加价热潮风气下
发下啩发下啩发起烂渣都鬼戏嘛
