Di Pantai Lido tepian mandi
Sepanjang  masa di hari minggu
Atas bukit Tanjung Puteri
Taman hiburan indah berseri
Pemandangan  menawan hati
Jalan tambak hubungan negeri

Tanjung Sekijang nun di kuala
Tempat nelayan mengail gelama
Istana Hinggap di Kuala Dangga
Pantai berkelah keluarga diRaja
Dari Tebrau orang berakit
Singgah Setulang membeli kopi
Pusara Si Bongkok di lereng bukit
Di tepi Pantai Tanjung Puteri
