[Verse 1] I met a guy in Moose Jaw Who carried pierogies in a tin He said, "Son, this is dinner" Then he winked and let me in A butter tart in his jacket A peameal sandwich in a sack And every time he took a bite He never looked back [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the fridge was mighty proud And the table learned to sing When the gravy hit the potatoes Man, that was the whole damn thing [Chorus] Pass the poutine, pass it fast Make that cheese curd glow Pass the poutine, pass it fast Let the maple gravy flow Oh, poutine, poutine Stick to my ribs like a dream Pass the poutine, pass it fast That's my northern feast [Verse 2] At Timmy's at the border I saw a dozen trays Of honey dips and Timbits In a powdered sugar haze A Nanaimo bar in Nanaimo Looked me right up and down Said, "If you want a second piece You better hang around" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the salmon wore a cedar coat The doughnuts wore a grin And every bite that hit my tongue Said, "Buddy, come on in" [Chorus] Pass the poutine, pass it fast Make that cheese curd glow Pass the poutine, pass it fast Let the maple gravy flow Oh, poutine, poutine Stick to my ribs like a dream Pass the poutine, pass it fast That's my northern feast [Bridge] Now the moose might judge your manners And the geese might steal your fries But if you bring a little ketchup chip You'll be friends in all their eyes I got soup in a paper cup And butter tarts by the score If Canada's got a reason I ain't asking for much more [Chorus] Pass the poutine, pass it fast Make that cheese curd glow Pass the poutine, pass it fast Let the maple gravy flow Oh, poutine, poutine Stick to my ribs like a dream Pass the poutine, pass it fast That's my northern feast
