NONSENSE VERSE
Honky Tonk Holiday (live kitchen party version)
Well I bought a baseball cap on the west coast
I intend to pack it all the way to the east
Said I’m going to Prince Edward Island
Where existential dread hovers least
I’m worried ‘bout my flights’ cancellations
Air Canada just don’t seem to get ‘em right
Will all my luggage be lost at Pearson
It’s the last place I want to spend a night
How I miss that pub in Kensington
Twenty minutes from Lightfoot’s Summerside
God how I crave that shellfish sandwich
With Stompin’ Tom’s taters all deep fried
I don’t care for Lucy Maud Montgomery
You know Green Gables ain’t my style
But I want to dip my toes right in the ocean
Sit on the porch turn my mind off just a while
Well I could write ten more verses
Maybe a bridge and then a chorus too
But I think you catch my meaning
So I guess said I guess this song is through
