The song is about a bahay kubo (lit. 'field house' in English), a house made of bamboo with a roof of nipa leaves, surrounded by different kind of vegetables, and is frequently sung by Filipino school children, the song being as familiar as the "Alphabet Song" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" from the West. Its composition is sometimes erroneously attributed to composer Felipe Padilla de Leon.
