McCARTHY’S PARTY ISLAND TOUR

Remember the story I wrote about the Hutton Family – ‘Somethin for Hutton’? Well, I just found the lyrics to the song Carl Hutton wrote after we co hosted our first island wide tour this summer.

Those of you who met Carl will certainly appreciate the words and the link to his original recording – made on the bus on the first day of our second island wide tour together.

We had so much fun and want to thank all the guests who joined us.

Can’t wait for the tour season to get started again. Thankful to have memories like this to carry us through next spring.

Our best to all

Andrew and Carl

 

‘McCarthy’s Party – Island Tour’

Heading out to Rocky Harbour

Going to the park

Going to see the Tablelands

Before it gets too dark

We got boat tours

And coasts to explore

And so much more

We got bologna cook books

Lots of little nooks

Ugly sticks and other silly tricks

It’s going to be breezy

But we’ll take it easy

Cause we know the way

Were McCarthy’s Party

Look over there

Its an iceberg I think

Is that what really caused

The Titanic to sink

Fasten your seatbelts

Were on an iceberg quest

We ain’t got no,,,

time to rest

You’ll hear some lies

Now don’t be surprised

Cause we’re real old

And some stories are still untold

It’s going to be breezy

But we’ll take it easy

Cause we know the way

Were McCarthy’s Party

Now were off

to the Bonavista Cape

Where the scenery

you can’t escape

With heritage homes

And money everywhere,,,,,

But the ice cream

is the best down here

And Signal Hill

Is such a thrill

With cannon balls

And no shopping malls

But the gift shops rocked

And we’ll buy some more

It’s going to be breezy

But we’ll take it easy

Cause we know the way

Were McCarthy’s Party

There were puffins and gannets

And big blue whales

No one’s going to believe

Any of our tall tales

Welcome to the family

You’ve been screeched in

What I really want to know

If you’d do it again

With McCarthy’s Party

It’s going to be breezy

But we’ll take it easy

Now you know the way

Were McCarthy’s Party
