Oh, the Moratorium, the Moratorium,
We'll buy ourselves a brand new car on the Moratorium.
I got myself a Big Bear, and George, he got a Skidoo,
We're running 'round the rabbit roads, so you can join us too;
With the money that we're making pretty good, my son,
I'll buy myself a brand new car on the Moratorium.
Oh, the Moratorium, the Moratorium,
We'll buy ourselves a brand new car on the Moratorium.
Last year we were out fishing, this year we're on the land,
Me and brother George, me son, we started up a band;
There's no use to ignore it, there's nothing else to do,
Tonight we're cooking up some beans instead of fish 'n' brewis.
Oh, the Moratorium, the Moratorium,
We'll buy ourselves a brand new car on the Moratorium.
From the Dictionary Of Newfoundland English:
Brewis - sea-biscuit or 'hard tack' soaked in water and then boiled; such a dish cooked with salt cod and fat pork.
