I was laying on the porch as the bus drove by
Just talking to the dog about thinking to myself
There are so many good ideas we could talk about
But nothing that gets said gets us out of Cabbagetown
Oh, Cabbagetown
Oh, Cabbagetown
I will leave and I'll return
Oh, Cabbagetown
I talked to my old grandad as he fell into the sea
He said "Time and tide are one thing that no one understands"
I talked to my uncle Jack as he tried to talk to me
With a bottle in one hand and another in the other
Oh, Cabbagetown
Oh, Cabbagetown
I will leave and I'll return
Oh, Cabbagetown
Oh, Cabbagetown
Oh, Cabbagetown
I will leave and I'll return
Oh, Cabbagetown
