THAT'S HOW I MET YOU

ALL OF MY LIFE I WAS ON VACATION, WORKING THE BOATS WITH MY FATHER
MENDING THE NETS WAS MY EDUCATION, WITH SCHOOL I COULD NEVER BE BOTHERED
THEN ON A VISIT TO MY AUNT MILLIE ON A CLEAR DAY IN BON ECHO
IN A CANOE BOY HE SURE LOOKED SILLY, A FRENCHMAN WHO LOOKED LIKE A GECKO
AND THAT'S HOW I MET YOU

ALL OF MY LIFE I WAS ON VACATION, LUMBERJACKS ME AND MY OLD PA
THE WOODS OF QUEBEC WAS MY EDUCATION, FELLING THE TREES WITH MY CHAIN SAW
THEN ON A VISIT TO MY AUNT BETTY PADDLING THE MASAWAGA
THERE ON THE SHORE WAS A GIRL SO PRETTY I LIKED YOU THE MOMENT I SAW YOU
AND THAT'S HOW I MET YOU

I'VE COURTED LADIES FROM HERE TO BRAZIL MOVIE STARS, MODELS OF FASHION
BUT WITH MY PEARL I AM FINALLY FULFILLED SHE IS MY LIFE AND MY PASSION

I'VE HAD MY SUITORS FROM HERE TO SEVILLE ALL OF THEM HANDSOME AND DASHING
BUT WITH MY FRENCH I GET ALL MY THRILLS WHEN I CAN GIVE HIM A BASHING

FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES WE ARE ON VACATION FISHING THE LAKES AND THE RIVERS
OOSHAMASQUOBIT IS OUR LOCATION NOTHING WE NEED TO DELIVER
STRANGE HOW TWO PEOPLE SO FAR APART AGREE ON SO MANY MATTERS
MAYBE THE MESSAGE TO TAKE TO HEART IS THE PITCHER IS SOMETIMES THE BATTER
