written by the late Dr. Noel Murphy

 

We live in a world of winter

Frost and ice and snow and glitter

If you find it long and dragging

Now’s the time to start to sing, sing, sing.

 

Carnival’s the time for skating

Carnival’s the time for dating

Corner Brook’s the place to have some fun

Corner Brook’s the place come on the run.

 

Chorus

Touque to you, touque to him, touque to she

Touque to us, touque to them, touque to we

If you think you can’t join in just try

Put on your touque and then fly.

 

Carnival's the time for singing

Carnival's the time for riding

Winter is a world all of its own

That is why we say now don’t stay home.

 

Build a giant snowman on your lawn

Try to get to bed before each dawn

Sliding down the mountain on your skis

Bundle up the kids so they won’t freeze.

 

Carnival's the time for laughing

Songs and jokes and fun and after

You will realize it’s been just great

Corner Brook’s the place so make a date.

 

Chorus

 

Carnival's the time for walking

Carnival's the time for talking

Winter is a world all of it’s own

Corner Brook’s the place so don’t stay home

Winter is a world all of its own

Corner Brook’s the place so don’t stay home.
