Now, I know that we don't talk like you mainlanders
And I know that we're the victims of your jokes.
And I know that you all think we're goofy Newfies
And that we all belong in fishing boats.
Why, you even make fun of Joey Smallwood [Brian Tobin]
And you call him Newfie's funny little man.
But he sure shakes up your politicians
When he stands up to fight for Newfoundland.
So go on and call us goofy Newfies
Laugh aloud when you hear us speak.
We'll just sit back and enjoy living
And chug-a-lug that good old Newfie Screech.
Now, I know that we don't have your super highways
And buildings that are forty storeys high.
Now, we don't have your fancy cars and money
But we don't need them and I'll tell you why.
Why, if we had them we'd be just like you are
And proving it by telling stupid jokes.
So I'm proud to say that I came from Newfie
And that I was raised up in fishing boats
So go on and call us goofy Newfies
Laugh aloud when you hear us speak.
We'll just sit back and enjoy living
And chug-a-lug that good old Newfie Screech.
Yes, chug-a-lug that good old Newfie Screech
