Rock Yourself On The Ocean - Buddy Wasisname And The Other Fellers

I thought I had posted this before but I couldn't find it so maybe I didn't it. Anyways this is a great song by the Newfoundland band - Buddy Wasisname And The Other Fellers




Diddly-da diddly-dum doo

In the middle of the week
In the middle of the day
In the middle of the summer
In the middle of the bay
Boots kicked off, feet out to dry
Lying on the cuddy counting clouds in the sky
Throw her down and take a break
To hell with profits you won’t make
Take her slack cause you deserve
To rock yourself on the ocean.

Diddly-da diddly-dum doo

We work like devils from nine to five
So that we can have eight wheels to drive
Tubes with colour, plastic bread
Waves in our ovens and water in our beds
Frantically driven to compete
Pile her up, beg borrow, cheat
No time to play or cross the bay
Or stop and smell the ocean

Diddly-da diddly-dum doo

In the middle of the city with a racket and a roar
Caged like a rat on the fifteenth floor
Trying to make a livin’ putting paper in a pile
Hard to find someone with a genuine smile

Life was never meant to be lived in a box
We need a little freedom like the gull and the fox
Grab your chance whenever you can
And rock yourself on the ocean.

Diddly-da diddly-dum doo

In the middle of the week
In the middle of the day
In the middle of the summer
In the middle of the bay
Boots kicked off, feet out to dry
Lying on the cuddy counting clouds in the sky
Throw her down and take a break
To hell with profits you won’t make
Take her slack cause you deserve
To rock yourself on the ocean,

To rock yourself on the ocean.
