[Oz]
By eight o'clock, the bar is completely packed with people from around the world. Everybody's talking about where they're staying, what they've seen
And the bar staff keep making runs for more beer and liquor
After an hour, people are swimmin' in the river out back
And no, no one brought their swim trunks!
A couple o' the local b'ys get up with their accordions and fiddles -
And someone brings out an ugly stick
[Men]
Farewell to all you pretty ladies
Waving from the dock
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
And if we do return to you
We'll make your cradles rock
Heave away, me jolly b'ys
We're all bound away
[Women]
Farewell you Newfoundlander b'ys
You're leaving us alone
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
And if you find another
We've got lovers of our own
[Company]
Heave away, me jolly b'ys
We're all bound away
[Oz]
And then we get the karaoke goin'
[Delores]
Near, far
[Company]
Wherever we are
Whoo!
[Oz]
Then we decide to have a bit of a ceremony
[Claude]
Let's make these people honorary Newfoundlanders
