Stompin Tom Connors - To It and At It lyrics
There's a rainbow in Toronto
Where the Maritimers are told
They always get a pot full
But they never get a pot of gold
But they're at it and to it and to it and at it
You gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it
You won't get to it to get at it again
You won't get to it to get at it again
A guy from ol' New Brunswick
He couldn't even pay his rent
We don't know how he traveled
But we all know where he went
He was at it and to it and to it and at it
You gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it
You won't get to it to get at it again
You won't get to it to get at it again
A girl from ol' spud island
Old potatoe lips
She married a Newfoundlander
And they lived on fish & chips
But they were at it and to it and to it and at it
You gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it
You won't get to it to get at it again
You won't get to it to get at it again
A guy from Nova Scotia
He can't afford the train
He's sittin' on a street car
But he's east bound just the same
He's at it and to it and to it and at it
You gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it
You won't get to it to get at it again
You won't get to it to get at it again
A frenchman from the Gaspe
Said frogs don't like smog
So he hopped in a swamp with lilies
Where he lives in a hallow log
But he's at it and to it and to it and at it
You gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it
You won't get to it to get at it again
You won't get to it to get at it again
A guy from ol' Cape Breton
So lonesome he got stoned
He crawled into a suitcase
And someone mailed him home
But he's at it and to it and to it and at it
You gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it
You won't get to it to get at it again
He was at it and to it and to it and at it
You gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it
You won't get to it to get at it again
You won't get to it to get at it again
