Bayang mahilig sa ganda/

Inuuna ang postura/
Walang laman ang bituka/
Kundi Gasgas na pag-asa//
Si Megan Young nang manalo/
Nagbunyi ang Pilipino/
May dala sanang asenso/
Magkakapag-asa tayo//

Nagkagyera sa Mindanao/
Kaban ng bayan ninakaw/
Sa bagyo'y daming pumanaw/
Miss World, salamat sa araw//
