Oemar Bakri The Teacher
(Iwan Fals)

Black briefcase from aligator skin
“Good morning!”, said Mr. Oemar Bakri
“Today, I think the coffee is so good!”

Black briefcase from aligator skin
Let’s go to teach science lesson
There your naughty students may have waited already

Old bicycle passed on the street full of holes
Always like that since the Japanese occupation
Astonished was he when about to enter gate
Many police carrying weapons with fierce face

Mr. Oemar Bakri was shocked, “What happen?”
“A fight, Sir!”, answer the students like a bunch of hot shot
Mr. Oemar Bakri was very very afraid
That wrecked bicycle was ridden fast
Then he went in panic
Went home quickly

Like hell…
Front wheel up and fly!

Oemar Bakri Oemar Bakri
Government paid employee
Oemar Bakri Oemar Bakri
Forty years in service
Being a good honest teacher is miserable indeed

Oemar Bakri Oemar Bakri
Created many ministers
Oemar Bakri…
Created Professors, PhDs, Engineers too
But why is teacher Oemar Bakri’s paycheck being cut?

Mr. Oemar Bakri was shocked, “What happen?”
“A fight, Sir!”, answer the students like a bunch of hot shot
Mr. Oemar Bakri was very very afraid
That wrecked bicycle was ridden fast
Then he went in panic
Bakri released ‘gas’
Went home quickly

Oemar Bakri Oemar Bakri
Government paid employee
Oemar Bakri Oemar Bakri
Forty years in service
Being a good honest teacher is miserable indeed

Oemar Bakri Oemar Bakri
Created many ministers
Oemar Bakri…
Made people clever like Habibie (Indonesia’s former Minister of Research and Technology, Indonesia’s third President)
But why is teacher Oemar Bakri’s paycheck being cut?

Bakri… Bakri…
What a pitiful person you are!
Hell!
