Keelung, officially known as Keelung City (Chinese: 基隆市; also Jilong or Chilung), is a major port city situated in the northeastern part of Taiwan. It borders New Taipei with which it forms the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area, along with Taipei itself. Nicknamed the Rainy Port for its frequent rain and maritime role, the city is Taiwan's second largest seaport (after Kaohsiung).
According to early Chinese accounts, this northern coastal area was originally called Pak-kang (北港). By the early 20th century, the city was known to the Western world as Kelung, as well as the variants Kiloung, Kilang and Keelung. In his 1903 general history of Taiwan, US Consul to Formosa (1898–1904) James W. Davidson related that "Kelung" was among the few well-known names, thus warranting no alternate Japanese romanization.
However, the Taiwanese people have long called the city Kelang (Chinese: 雞籠; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ke-lâng/Koe-lâng; literally: "rooster cage" or "hencoop"). It has been proposed that this name was derived from the local mountain that took the shape of a rooster cage. However, it is more probable that the name was derived from the first inhabitants of the region, as are the names of many other Taiwanese cities. In this case, the Ketagalan people were the first inhabitants, and early Han settlers probably approximated "Ketagalan" with "Ke-lâng" (Hokkien phonetics).
Come and wind your belly
Come and wind it for me
Oh my Mother Anna knew
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the piggies don't don't whine
Then you keep it here with mine
Doko won the magic prize
Taken from Mother, a song song for Ella
Taken from Mother, a song song aglow
Cheeky boy sits on the side side forever
Cheeky boy who snuffles in the snow
Come and whip up for one, whip up for two
Oh our Mother Anna knew
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the doggies don't don't pine
Then you keep it here with mine
Doko won the magic prize
Taken from Mother, a song song for Ella
Taken from Mother, a song song aglow
Cheeky boy sits on the side side forever
All the guns, guns were never once Arthur's no
Come and veto the rose, veto for me
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the doggie don't don't pine
Then you keep them undermined
Keep them undermined
Doko won the magic prize
