Verse 1: Down by da bay, where da cape lin roll, A Newfie lad, heart pure as gold. Cast his line, not lookin' for love, Just a cod and a pint, from the heavens above. Chorus: Oh, codfish dear, you stole me heart, From da ocean deep, we'll never part. In me rubber boots, I'll dance a jig, For me codfish love, so wild and big! Verse 2: He’s got a toque on his head, and a twinkle in his eye, This Newfie lad is one lucky guy. His cod, she's a beauty, with scales so bright, They’ll be dancin’ on George Street, all through the night. Chorus: Oh, codfish dear, you stole me heart, From da ocean deep, we'll never part. In me rubber boots, I'll dance a jig, For me codfish love, so wild and big! Bridge: Now da boys in the pub, they laugh and they jeer, "Yer datin' a fish? Have another beer!" But love’s a funny ting, you never do know, When a cod’s in yer arms, how da feelin' will grow. Verse 3: They’ll have a weddin’ down by da dock, With a cod cake tier and a jigger of schlock. The vows they'll make, under da moon’s light, "To love and to cherish, till the end of the night." Chorus: Oh, codfish dear, you stole me heart, From da ocean deep, we'll never part. In me rubber boots, I'll dance a jig, For me codfish love, so wild and big! Outro: So here’s to da cod and her Newfie beau, In the cold North Atlantic, their love will grow. With a splash and a kiss, they'll swim away, In Newfoundland waters, forever they'll stay.
