What Are Ya' At?-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 that's the way we say hello in my home down by the sea We never say "hello" or "how's 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 2x] 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?"
