we left Dartmouth with the ocean on our minds
we left Nova Scotia with the ocean on our minds
we left town with our rain boots on
one look behind us and the sea was gone
uh huh
went to Sackville with textbooks on your minds
off to Vancouver with a pencil case on mine
we shared letters and we rambled on
before we knew it, summer had come
uh huh
so cover me in seaweed baby
the ocean wants my ukulele
so throw it in
but spare your mandolin
went to the party with a bottle in your hand
went to the party with a sharpie in your other hand
signed a sock, spelled our band name wrong, i guess we all got pretty drunk
uh huh
i went to the Yukon with the frontier on my mind
climbed the mountain heard the calls of the wild
i went to Jack London's house, wrote a folk song on his couch
uh huh
so cover me in seaweed baby
the ocean wants my ukulele
i'm so glad to know 'ya
together we'll forget about Manitoba
and if music is honey
then let's all be bees
head on down to the hive and sing
nobody forget about the AFB
