Liner Notes

LYRICS ARE SO MUCH EASIER YOU GUISE.

Lyrics

Loving my town
Hanging with friends
This is my hood
They call it a ghetto
but hey! now
I'd say life's pretty good

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

Just go downtown
Ride the streetcar
Take a look around
All the people of
different nations
Just getting along

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

Chill at the waterfront
Yeah down at Harbourfront
Watch those tall ship sails go by
Summer beats and sweets and I love

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto
Hey, hey, this is Toronto
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

I love Toronto. And agree that it could use an anthem. At least something better than "If You're Bored Party Down With Rob Ford"

These could totally be the words to a tune for a "please come visit Toronto" commercial!! It takes me right there immediately. Excellent stuff!

My friend set up a Facebook page entitled TORONTO - "CANADA'S New Age Capital of the World" - Appreciation Society... I suggest you send them this... !

in times now, where more and more people want to hide in their national cloud, this is an uplifting sign. very nice!

I'd love to hear this sung in a swingy number by someone who could imitate a Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennet kind of voice. Upbeat, celebratory, a veritable love letter to your city. I enjoyed reading (and imagining!). And yep, I agree. Lyrics are easier!

Looks like a promising set of lyrics (says random commenter who was born in the Tdot)-- are you going to be musicking this or are you looking for collaborators?
