Toronto, Toronto

from Shame on the Sun by Pascal Dennis

/

lyrics

Verse (A1): Toronto, Toronto is a marvellous town
We got a good thing going, and word gets around
Though I love Manhattan and London town
Toronto is my home town

Verse (A2): You’ll find waiters simpatico at Café Diplomatico
We’ll sip Campari and share calamari
We’ll watch the World Cup
And get all worked up when Italia scores.

Chorus (B1): On the Hanlan’s Point ferry
Troubles are temporary
Look at that skyline – ain’t it divine?
Who’d have thought Niagara wine could be so fine?

Verse (A3): I carry your locket & a puff in my pocket
I saunter on foot or ride the Red Rocket
Get tickets for TIFF, you may see Brad Pitt
Or Justin Bieber slouching at the bar

Verse (A4): You’ll look like a million, at Sunnyside Pavilion
The boardwalk is for lovers, it goes on forever
We’ll catch a regatta, or a boardwalk sonata
As that old sun goes down

Chorus (B2): In Kensington Market, with hipsters and starlets
We’ll find a designer for you on Spadina
You’ll be my femme fatale at the Palais Royale beneath the stars.

Verse (A5): We’ll sit under elm woods at Trinity Bellwoods
A play on King West, then exit stage left
We’ll cheer & give thanks when our Jays beat the Yanks
And paint our faces powder blue

Verse (A6): We’ll feed the swans on Grenadier Pond
I love your freckles, my strawberry blonde
Though I love Manhattan and London town
Toronto is my home town (2x)
