The Harbour Hullabaloo Lyrics by Shane Pendergast

Place to the Name

2020

There's a roof and a door, down by the shore
Held up by a floor and a wall
And a window shoved up in the corner
With the curtains about to fall
You'll see forty smiling faces there,
All folks that I once knew
They're all inside, along for the ride
At the Harbour Hullabaloo
There's a fella there in a broken chair,
Held up by an old guitar
He's the last to stand, of a four-piece band
The rest? Are asleep in the car
There's a lady dancing with bottlecaps stuck onto the soles of her shoes
Yes, there's quite the entertainment tonight,
At the Harbour Hullabaloo
There's two or three down from Tracadie
Faces like broken clocks
They fall in the door and bow to the floor,
Roaring at the holes in their socks
They'll curse and they'll swear and they'll turn the air
A smoky shade of blue
But we'll plug our ears with a dozen beers
At the Harbour Hullabaloo
There's three or four from the Tignish shore,
Boots hauled up to their knees
They stagger around, making a sound
Like a hive o' riled-up bees
They don't like the song, and the fight is on,
We'll swing a fist or two
Yes, we'll have great fun 'til the battle's won,
At the Harbour Hullabaloo
Mounties arrive at half-past five,
Give us all a ride to town
Sick and sore on the backseat floor,
Sleepy Hollow-bound
With a chair and a bed and a busted head,
We'll swear to the judge, "We're through"
"Then get outta my sight" We're back that night
At the Harbour Hullabaloo
Now you can take your hootenannies,
You can have your Chevaries
You can take your kitchen [?]
They don't mean much to me
Your jamborees and your tiddle-dum sprees
And your gumboot cloggeroos
Well, they're all great fun,
But there's only one called the Harbour Hullabaloo
