(Verse 1) On a rocky isle, where the sea meets the sky, Lived a Newfie named Jack with a twinkle in his eye, He loved his jiggin’ and his fishin’ too, But when turbines came, he knew what to do. (Chorus) Folk the turbines, they’re spinnin’ too fast, Folk turnin’ our island into a wind-blown blast, Folk the turbines, let's sing and dance, Folk the government, let's take a stance. (Verse 2) Old Jack grabbed his fiddle, and his buddy grabbed a drum, Called the whole village, "Come on, let's have some fun!" With accordions and spoons, we made quite a sight, Dancin' 'round the turbines in the pale moonlight. (Chorus) Folk the turbines, they’re spinnin’ too fast, Folk turnin’ our island into a wind-blown blast, Folk the turbines, let's sing and dance, Folk the government, let's take a stance. (Bridge) We sang of the cod, and the moose in the bog, Of Screech and the puffins, and the old brown dog, With a wink and a nod, we told the turbines to flee, “There's no room here for you, in our island by the sea!” (Verse 3) Now the turbines are still, and the wind's just a breeze, The fish are a-plenty, and we're back to our ease, With a folk song in our hearts, and a jig in our feet, We showed those turbines, Newfoundland can't be beat! (Chorus) Folk the turbines, they’re spinnin’ too fast, Folk turnin’ our island into a wind-blown blast, Folk the turbines, let's sing and dance, Folk the government, let's take a stance. (Outro) So come one, come all, to the island so grand, Where the folk songs are lively, and the coastline’s unplanned, With a cheer and a jig, and a dance 'round the bay, We’ll keep Newfoundland free in our own special way!
