[MARTIN]
We've been north

[TOP]
-we've been south

[MARTIN]
We're goin' east

[TOP]
- we're goin' west

[MARTIN]
We've been here

[TOP]
We're goin' there

[MARTIN, TOP]
That's what we've been doin' and that's where we're goin'

[MARTIN]
We're from the big north:
The great sprawling cities
The harbour ports with their big ships
Sailing in and out
We're goin' west where the sun is winter-warm
Where the air is clear and mountains are high
And the pine trees hum

[MARTIN, TOP]
That's where we've been
And that's where we're goin'

[MARTIN]
We've been north
We're goin' east
We've been south

[TOP]
We've been south
We're goin' west
Yes Laurie

[MARTIN, TOP]
That's where we've been
And that's where we're goin'

[TOP]
We're from the side south, the grassy plains
The lazy towns with their low rolling valleys
And sleepy sun
We're goin' east where the life is sharp and fast
Where the smoke curls and the snow swirls and Bessemers blast

[MARTIN, TOP]
That's where we've been and that's where we're goin'
We've been north
We've been south
We're goin' east
We're goin' west
We've been here
We're goin' there
That's where we've been and that's where we're goin

[MARTIN]
We've been ev'rywhere

[TOP]
Would you like to go there?

[MARTIN]
We'll roll out a magic carpet and whisk you away

[LAURIE]
You're making fun of me
I don't mind `cause someday I will see those places
