Good Enough to Drink

Production Style & Sonic Direction: emergency bulletin cananda slang

Verse 1

Out past the Timmy’s on the edge of the Shield,

Where the skeeters are the size of a lawnmower wheel,

We’ve got twenty percent of the fresh water right here,

Flowin' straight down the creek while we’re crackin' a beer.

You take an old bucket by the cabin door,

Dip your toque right in and ask the lake for some more.

It’s straight off the glacier, it’s cold as the night,

So crystal clear you can see the walleye take flight.

Chorus

Oh, is it good enough to drink? Yeah, you betcha, old bud!

Better than a Double-Double or a warm bucket of mud.

From the Great Lakes basin to the Yukon stream,

It’s the cleanest tap water in a hoser’s dream.

So pass around the tin cup, save your loonies at the store,

We’re drownin' in the pure stuff from shore to shore, eh!

Verse 2

Now folks down south buy bottled water in a glass,

Payin' five bucks a pop just to flex some class.

While back out in the bush where the black bears roam,

We just lean off the canoe and drink the lake right at home.

Sure, you gotta dodge a beaver or a floating birch log,

And maybe strain a little bit of northern bog,

But it’ll freeze your teeth till your tongue goes numb—

Pure liquid gold till the next spring thaw comes!

Chorus

Oh, is it good enough to drink? Yeah, you betcha, old bud!

Better than a Double-Double or a warm bucket of mud.

From the Great Lakes basin to the Yukon stream,

It’s the cleanest tap water in a hoser’s dream.

So pass around the tin cup, save your loonies at the store,

We’re drownin' in the pure stuff from shore to shore, eh!

Outro

So grab your flannel jacket and your mukluk boots,

We’re toastin' two million lakes back at our roots.

No fancy filter needed when the sky’s this blue—

She’s good enough to drink, bud! Bottoms up to you!
