Have you heard the news in Newfoundland rollin' around the rock
How Reggie brought for Margie home a cowsy dungsy clock
With Margie bein' a farm girl she almost took a fit
To find the cowsy dungsy clock was really made of 'it'
The clock was from Toronto and her mind was soon made up
She said to Reggie get the cow and load 'er on the truck
We're headin' for Ontario and we're off to make 'er big
'Cause Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig
Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig
Now they're rollin' through the Maritimes the truck was nearly full
The cow began to ball she was lonesome for the bull
The Mountie pulled them over is there something I can do
Go right ahead sir Margie said climb in the back and moo
Now when the got to Montreal they missed the auto route
But they found that everyone in town was glad to help them out
The sooner you hit Toronto they said the sooner you'll make 'er big
'Cause Margo got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig
Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig
Now the truck was overflowin' when Toronto hit their eyes
The 401 was full of dung and the cab was full of flies
We're losing lots of money Reg we can't afford to stop
We gotta find the place that makes the cowsy dungsy clock
Well I wish you could of been there on the corner of Queen and Yonge
When Margo found the company and she dumped her load of dung
And when she found the office she was singin' and doin' a jig
Margo's got the cargo b'ys and Reggie's got the rig
Reggie got the rig
Reggie got the rig
Margo brought the cargo b'ys and Reggie brought the rig
It was later in the evening when they heard from Mr. Judge
I don't know what to give you's but I'll never hold a grudge
I think a thousand dollars would be fair to hand you down
And 30 days of lodging will be free upon the town
Now Margo says to Reggie what a hell of a deal we struck
We might of lost a cow b'y but still we got the truck
And now they're back in Newfoundland and loading up their pig
'Cause Margo got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig
Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig
Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig
