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 you people round the rock when tourist seasons here
Although in my opinion it s a gem throughout the year
Well if youre one for swimming, dont think its outta reach
You can go and take a dip along Groswater Beach
I know the names misleading, thats quite a problem here
Instead lets go to Goobies and have ourselves a beer
From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackheads mighty grand
Dont let the names deceive you, Newfoundlands mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think youve got the time
Well you can go to Blow-Me-Down before it gets to dark GASP
Oh sorry maam, I should have said, thats our provincial park
Theres also Whippet Harbour, or maybe Butter Pot
Or maybe Ill just hit the pub Im feeling like a shot
Well you can sail on Quidi Vidi, or look at Joe Batts Arm
Theres Placentia and theres Cow Head MOOO!, theyre so full of charm
Get married down in Kilbride, have a party in Hate Bay
Or have some screech in Fogo and forget about the day
From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackheads mighty grand
Dont let the names deceive you, Newfoundlands mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think youve got the time
sing drunkenly here
From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackheads mighty grand
Dont let the names deceive you, Newfoundlands mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think youve got the time
So spend a night on Dildo if you think youve got the time
So spend a night on Dildo if you think youve got the time
COD!
Special thanks to Fiona Younger for the spelling of some placenames.
