月光光，照地堂
Written by jlz on August 24, 2007 – 8:33 pm -grandma helen and mommy has been reciting “月光光，照地堂，年卅晚，摘檳榔……” to anZel since he was young. I finally found it on the web…
月光光，照地堂。年卅晚，摘檳榔。檳榔香，摘子姜。子姜辣，買菩達。菩達苦，買豬肚。豬肚肥，買牛皮。
牛皮薄，買菱角。菱角尖，買馬鞭。馬鞭長，起屋梁。屋梁高，買張刀。刀切菜，買爐蓋。爐蓋圓，買條船。
船沉底，浸死兩個番鬼仔。一個浮頭，一個沉底，又畏又好睇。
There’s also a cantonese song with the same beginning，歌詞是：
月光光，照地堂。蝦仔你乖乖訓落床，聼朝阿媽要趕插秧咯，阿爺睇牛佢上山崗啊啊～蝦仔你快高長大咯，幫手阿爺去睇牛羊啊～
月光光，照地堂。蝦仔你乖乖訓落床，聼朝阿爸要捕魚蝦咯，阿嫲織網要織到天光啊啊～蝦仔你快高長大咯，划艇撒網就更在行了啊～
月光光，照地堂。年卅晚，摘檳榔。五穀豐收堆滿倉，老老嫩嫩喜洋洋啊啊～蝦仔你快點眯埋眼咯，一覺訓到大天光，啊啊～
