Introduction –
Kevin: Now Raymond, we're gonna do what ya calls here a h'authentic piece of folk Newfoundland material.
Ray: Now why is it authentic?
Kevin: Raymond, because of the instruments we use. We have here a rolling pin, thank you mudder, and I got here I got a hubcap, what I selected out of 45 hubcaps for tone and clarity. And I got a Cla** A spring steel copper coated door stop added on for effect.
Ray: Above all instruments, why did you choose a hubcap?
Kevin: Raymond, I am a hubcap player because my father before me was a hubcap player Raymond, and his father before him was a hubcap player Raymond, and in order to play a hubcap back in the 1930s, you had to be willing to grab on to the old spoke wheel, tire and all. So, give her, come on.

Grabbed his boots, grabbed his socks, then he ripped his trousers off,
When he started running well his shorts went up his crotch
