半斤八兩(電影"半斤八兩"歌曲)

我哋呢班打工仔
通街走糴直頭系壞腸胃
揾個些少到月底點夠駛（奀過鬼）
確系認真濕滯

最弊波士郁啲嘀發威（癲過雞）
一味喺處系唔系亂嚟吠
翳親加薪塊面嗱起惡睇（扭嚇計）
你就認真開胃

半斤八兩 做到只積咁嘅樣
半斤八兩 濕水炮仗點會響
半斤八兩 夠膽呀楂槍走去搶
出咗半斤力 想話啰番足八兩
家陣惡揾食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想（吹漲）

我哋呢班打工仔
一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
個種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼（死俾你睇）
咪話無乜所謂

半斤八兩 做到只積咁嘅樣
半斤八兩 濕水炮仗點會響
半斤八兩 夠膽呀楂槍走去搶
出咗半斤力 想話啰番足八兩
家陣惡揾食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想（吹漲）

我哋呢班打工仔
一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
個種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼（死俾你睇）
咪話無乜所謂

Half a Catty (Song from the movie "Half a Catty")

We who toil
Run ragged doing errands that give us indigestion
We earn a pittance by month's end, it's not enough (damn!)
Life is sure depressing

Our bosses push us to the brink of insanity (like crazy chickens)
Yelling at us for nothing
When we ask for a raise, their faces turn nasty (such haggling)
And you just feel like vomiting

Half a catty, that's all we've got
Half a catty, a firecracker that won't go off
Half a catty, you'd need a gun to get enough
We give half a catty, but we want eight ounces
These days, it's hard to earn a living, half a catty is a dream (talk big)

We who toil
Slaves to money all our lives
The hardship and degradation, it's enough to scare you to death
Don't tell me it's nothing

Half a catty, that's all we've got
Half a catty, a firecracker that won't go off
Half a catty, you'd need a gun to get enough
We give half a catty, but we want eight ounces
These days, it's hard to earn a living, half a catty is a dream (talk big)

We who toil
Slaves to money all our lives
The hardship and degradation, it's enough to scare you to death
Don't tell me it's nothing
