“On a Little Street in Singapore” is a jazz song written by Peter DeRose and Billy Hill.
Reviewing Bob Dylan’s album Fallen Angels which included the song, Michael Hann wrote in The Guardian that “On a Little Street in Singapore” was a “throwaway number” whose “strength is all in the melody” and lacked the “romantic profundity” of the other songs on the album

LYRICS
On a little street in Singapore
We’d meet beside a lotus-covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lonely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar
And temple bells will guide me to the shore
And then I’ll hold her in my arms and love the way I loved before
On a little street in Singapore
