賣身契
許冠傑 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

苏虾仔未出世 都去温玉皇大帝
听巨讲番的世俗条例
拿起张卖身契 起势甘拧头拧计
好坐低听孤家讲出一切
喂 我要你架势 你梗一家富贵
我发起郎黎 会将你垫尸底
认真巴闭
签番张卖身契(卖身契)
搞掂笔入境费(仲要洗礼)
甘苏虾仔至准出世
苏虾仔大个左啦喂
识拍拖学人做曳
一次偷鸡喊亦无谓
番香闺论婚礼
俾八姑窒头窒势
好女婿呢单认真钦计
喂 你咪当免费 走精你咪制
我听钱驶 你好挖仓底
仲要三身走礼
签番张卖身契(仲要屋契)
搞掂笔外母费(杰过西米)
甘苏虾仔至准出世

香港地为生计 乜野都受人限制
睇报纸多多制度条例
加差响电费水费
的菜乜越来越贵
恩爱夫妻都顶心顶肺
喂 咪太过闭翳 训医院更贵
养番班马骝仔 有苦暗哑抵
仲要交足书簿费
一张张卖身契(卖身契)
怎就甘累你一世(做到甩肺)
唉 总之一句呵呢吉帝(呵呢吉帝)
一张张卖身契(卖身契)




怎就甘累你一世(做到甩肺)
唉 总之一句呵呢吉帝我前世

啊 Sam 每首歌都是我哋香港(在那最好的年代)的主題曲❤👍

@WenDiaSam

許氏電影中最喜愛的一套❤今年才第一次看,便看了兩次!許冠文的喜劇無人能及,是有內容有深度的笑,具諷刺意味,而片中的"4D電視”可見許冠文的思維在70年代已走得很前,犀利⭐劇情緊湊全無冷場,加上許冠英就更搞笑了😅再配合許冠傑的配樂和電影歌曲,完美組合!
只要翻看他們以往這些的電影,也不難發現近年的喜劇都有著這些影子。

@Pik871229

80 後都聽過,04年阿 Sam復出
我就開始聽多左佢歌,呢首正

@LoveSongs70809

许冠傑真是香港歌神啊!祝身体健康和辛福快乐!

@tklzt

现在是2020年5月6日。当年的我只有几岁是听老爸哼着这首歌,如今的我再听已是经典一首了.哗..时间过得好快,但是Sam 大哥唱的歌,永远都是那么好听。百听不厌。。他也是我父母心中唯一的歌神。 谢谢你分享这MV。
