See the tower tall and beauty
Like a thimble on a sharp pencil
People know of you no matter where I go
Your reputation is international
See the tower
See the tower
Helicopters buzzing round your tip
You were built in 1976
Though you're not the tallest building in the world
You're still a modern one for the boys and girls
See the tower
See the tower
Looking out of a liquor terrio
Do you wonder where the decades go?
It's a jag o' pill to swallow you
But you, you, you, you, you
What a tower
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Paraaa-raraa
Toddy Tail once had a concert there
His ukulele and his wevy hair
He played tip-toe through the two lips two
Just another day in the life reyouth
See the tower
See the tower
Look how Richard, he had a good friend
Where death the tower in the '80s and
He got fired future riding in the roof
Looking elevator, what a goof
Made of concrete with a hollow shaft
They drop pumpkins just to see them smash
I went on a date not so long ago
And she never, ever, ever, ever, ever let me go
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Paraaa-raraa

Lucas Nolan so Canadians, could look out
At their home native land
Workers played cows boys and Indians
Not being taught about colonialism
See the tower
See the tower
Any questions you can ask America
If they are not banning a band
Or if they are having an affair
Selling furniture, fortune contract
Or getting videotape while they're smoking crack
You light up the city sky at night
Giving comfort with your laser lights
Is that King Kong climbing to the top
Will the tower song ever, ever, ever, ever, ever stop?
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa
Paraaa-raraa
Everybody's on your upper deck
Looking at you as a pain in the neck
I can see you from my window
So, I adored you
I adore you still
