Ballad of Mark Jarareuse

My name is Mark Jarareuse and I'm in grade six
 I was born in Hopedale, Labrador
 Yeah, they're brand new running shoes
 I got 'em new for school
 Say, what you guys come to Hopedale for?
 My sister made this whale
 She's in the band at school
 She'll be playin' for youse guys later on
 Yeah – the summer here was good
 Not so much to do
 Where does that ship you come here on
 Come from?
 And the time goes slow on Sundays
 And the time goes slow on Sundays
 I think she done it good
 The whales were here last spring
 No – they're gone and they won't be comin' back
 No – we weren't out on the land
 My uncle took the boat
 And my Dad – he's gone to Halifax
 And the time goes slow on Sundays
 And the time goes slow
 I really like your boat, I seen them boats before
 The Coast Guard had some here last spring
 I really like your ship, can I go on that ship?
 Will you guys be coming back again?
 And the time goes slow on Sundays
 And the time goes slow on Sundays
 My name is Mark Jarareuse and I'm in grade six
 I was born in Hopedale, Labrador
 Yeah, they're brand new running shoes
 I got 'em new for school
 Say, what you guys come to Hopedale for?
 And the time goes slow on Sundays
 And the time goes slow on Sundays
 On Sundays
