Umm, so this is a song about Newfoundland, and we wrote it about the place names, and all you have to know is that all the place names in this song are real place names that we found in an atlas, 'cause we can read! Yeah, we can read! Yeah, literacy!
Oh Newfoundland, oh Newfoundland, ya island in the sea I love you, oh so very much, I joined the Ministry To show your people 'round the rock when tourist season's here Although in my opinion it's a gem throughout the year Well if you're one for swimming, don't think it's outta reach You can go and take a dip along Grosswater Beach I know the name's misleading, that's quite a problem here Instead let's go to Goobie's and have ourselves a beer
From Woodie's Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine So spend a night in Dildo if you think you've got the time
Well you can go to Blow-Me-Down before it get's to dark Oh sorry ma'am, I should have said, that's our provincial park There's also Whippet Harbour, or maybe Butterpot Or maybe I'll just hit the pub I'm feeling like a shot Well you can sail on Kittybitty, and look at Joe Batt's Arm There's Placentea and there's Cowhead (MOOO!), they're so full of charm Get married down in Killbride, have a party in Hate Bay Or have some screech in Fogo and forget about the day
From Woodie's Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine So spend a night in Dildo if you think you've got the time
Okay, the drinkin' verse!
[unintelligible verse]
From Woodie's Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine So spend a night in Dildo if you think you've got the time So spend a night in Dildo if you think you've got the time So spend a night in Dildo if you think you've got the time
