There were 3 great islands in the Orient
Millennia ago, 3 Races here God sent…

First among them were the Negritos
From farthest lands came with bare toes
Second were folks known as the Indones
From not so far they journeyed less
Third were people we know as the Malays
From neighboring nation riding balangays

…And so the 3 Races thrived & multiplied
Establishing a society that made us civilized!
