Goofie Newfie

by Roy Payne

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 goofie Newfies

And that we all belong in fishing boats

Why you even make fun of Joey Smallwood

And you call him Newfies funny little man

But he sure shakes up your politicians

When he stands up and fights for Newfoundland

So go ahead and call us goofie 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

I know that we don't have your super highways

And buildings that are forty stories high

Now we don't have your fancy cars and money

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 come from Newfie

And I was raised up in fishing boats

Repeat Chorus
