I was laying on the porch  As the bus drove by  Just talking to the dog  About thinking to myself  There are so many big 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  SONG: Siftin'  Siftin'...Siftin'...Siftin'...Siftin'  Siftin'...Siftin'...Siftin'...Siftin'
