We'll walk hand in hand through the years
with brotherly love and care
Work hard to achieve great heights
in studies and in games
Stormy weather there'll always be
so let us be prepared
Be loyal to country
Contributing to society
Chorus:
Righteousness and Courtesy
we'll abide this golden rule
Ngee Ann our great guard

Righteousness and Courtesy
we'll abide this golden rule
Excellence in all we do
