What Are You At? Lyrics - Great Big Sea - Great Big Sea

Well I was walking in the main land city 

And I was feeling so alone 

I was looking for someone or thing to remind me of my home 

What I wouldn't give to have somebody nod or wink at me 

Cause thats the way we say hello in my home down by the sea 

We never say "hello" or "hows it going?", "good day" or any of that 

We just look at them and nod our heads and wink say 'Whadd'ya At?' 

CHORUS: 

Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy, Whadd'ya At today? 

Whadd'ya At? How's she going buddy, Whadd'ya At today? 

But then I walked into a shopping mall and much to my surprise 

An old friend from my hometown was a sight for my sore eyes 

And of all the people I met down in the city or in the mall 

I think I like my hometown friend the best one of them all 

Because he didn't say "hello" or "hows it going today?" or any of that 

My old friend he just looked at me and smiled said "Whadd'ya At?" 

CHORUS x 2 

Let this be a lesson to all our people who go away 

Remember if you meet someone the special words we say 

We don't ever say "hello" or "how's it going?", "good day" 

Or any of that. 

You just look at them and nod your head now wink say "Whadd'ya At?" 

CHORUS
