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)
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
The lyrics to 許冠傑's song 賣身契 deals with the struggles of life faced by the people living in Hong Kong. The song begins with the singer talking about how even before the birth of the baby, the parents have signed a contract to sell their child due to poverty. They have to face the harsh reality of the world by learning the law and regulations of society that are being dictated to them. The singer is heard urging the person to sign the contract to sell their body, which gives rise to a rather hostile tone when demanding to get the job done.
The song further narrates how the people living in Hong Kong have to face various challenges and limitations that prevent them from living a comfortable life. The lyrics mention how even married couples are unable to have a happy life because of the constant financial constraints, as everything is becoming more and more expensive. The singer urges people to be careful and not spend money blindly or else they will end up being buried under a pile of debt with no escape.
Overall, the lyrics depict the harsh realities of life faced by the people of Hong Kong and the struggles they have to go through to make ends meet.

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。
