Chris Martin, Still, with the Joke “Lend Me 100”

“Lend me 100” joke is not expired yet. And in Coldplay concert a few days ago, Chris Martin still goes with that joke, in pantun recitation: 👇👇👇

giat belajar biar lulus
apa kabar kota jakarta, boleh dong pinjam seratus

translation:

Study hard to graduate
How are you the city of Jakarta?
Will you lend me a hundred?

😂😂😂

Note:

the clue of pantun is at the edge words of the sentences with the similar sounds, which in Chris’s pantun applies for the word “lulus” and “seratus”.
