Well, we're happy Newfoundlanders and we're proud of our great land,
We love moose steaks and flipper pie and everything is grand;
Our air is pure and our kids get fed so I hope you'll understand,
That we're happy Newfoundlanders and proud of our great land.
Yes, we're happy Newfoundlanders and we don't really care,
We sit around and chew the fat and drink our homebrew beer;
Oh, strangers think we don't have much - always cracking Newfie jokes,
Well, I've got news for them, my friends, we're really happy folks.
Yes, we're happy Newfoundlanders and we're proud of our great land,
We love moose steaks and flipper pie and everything is grand;
Well, our air is pure, our kids get fed so I hope you understand,
That we're happy Newfoundlanders and proud of our great land.
Yes, we're happy Newfoundlanders and we're proud of our great land,
We love moose steaks and flipper pie and everything is grand;
Our air is pure and our kids get fed so I hope you'll understand,
We're happy Newfoundlanders and proud of our great land.
You know the good Lord must be treating us in a little different way,
He protects all our fishermen and brings 'em home each day;
Ah, we laugh a lot and carry on and sing The Moonshine Can,
We're happy Newfoundlanders and proud of our great land.
Yes, we're happy Newfoundlanders and we're proud of our great land.
