Great Big Sea - What Are You At? lyrics

Well I was walking in the main land city
And I was feeling so alone
I was looking for someone or thing
To remind me of my home
What I wouldn't give to have somebody
Nod or wink at me
Cause that's the way we say hello in
My home down by the sea
We never say "hello" or "how's it going?"
"good day" or any of that
We just look at them and nod our
Heads and wink say 'Whadd'ya At?'

Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
But then I walked into a shopping
Mall and much to my surprise
An old friend from my hometown was
A sight for my sore eyes
And of all the people I met down
In the city or in the mall
I think I like my hometown friend
The best one of them all
Because he didn't say "hello" or "hows it
Going today?" or any of that
My old friend he just looked at
Me and smiled said "Whadd'ya At?"

Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?

Everybody must say, "Whadd'ya at?"
All together now!
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?

Let this be a lesson to all
Our people who go away
Remember if you meet someone the
Special words we say
We don't ever say "hello"
Or "how's it going?", "good day"
Or any of that
You just look at them and nod your
Head now wink say "Whadd'ya At?"

Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today?
Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy
Whadd'ya At today? Now I say, whadd'ya at?
