In the Bar / Heave Away lyrics

[OZ, spoken]

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, spoken]

And then we get the karaoke goin'...

[DELORES]

Near... Far...

[COMPANY]

Wherever we are!

Whoo!

[OZ, spoken]

Then we decide to have a bit of a ceremony

[CLAUDE, spoken]

Let's make these people honorary Newfoundlanders!
