Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I was walking in the middle land city
And I was feeling so alone
I was looking for someone or thing
To remind me of my home
What I wouldn't give to have somebody nod or wink at me
'Cause that's the way we say hello in my home down by the sea
We never say hello or how's it going, good day or any of that
We just look at them and nod our heads or wink and say, what are you at?
[Verse 2]
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
[Verse 3]
But then I walked into a shopping mall and much to my surprise
An old friend from my hometown was a sight for my sore eyes
And of all the people I met down in the city or in the mall
I think I liked my hometown friend the best one of them all
Because he didn't say hello or how's it going today or any of that
My old friend he just looked at me and smiled and said, what are you at?
[Verse 4]
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
[Verse 5]
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
[Verse 6]
Everybody must say, what are you at
All together now
[Verse 7]
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
[Verse 8]
What are you at?
How's she going buddy?
What are you at today?
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
[Verse 9]
Let this be a lesson to all our people who go away
Remember if you meet someone the special words we say
We don't ever say hello or how's it going or good day or any of that
We just look at them and nod your head now wink say what are you at
[Verse 10]
What are you at, how's she going buddy
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today
What are you at, how's she going buddy
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
[Verse 11]
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
What are you at?
How's she going, buddy?
What are you at today?
Now I said, what are you at?
