[Verse 1]
See the tower, tall and beautiful
Like a thimble on a sharp pencil
People know of you no matter where I go
Your reputation is international

[Refrain]
See the tower
See the tower

[Verse 2]
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 wonder for the boys and girls

[Refrain]
See the tower
See the tower

[Verse 3]
Looking out over Lake Ontario
Do you wonder where the decades go?
It's a Jagged Pill to swallow whole
But you, you, you, you, you oughta know
[Verse 4]
Tiny Tim once had a concert there
His ukulele and his wavy hair
He played "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" too
Just another day in the life for you

[Refrain]
See the tower
See the tower

[Verse 5]
My pal Richard, he had a good friend
Worked at the tower in the '80s and
He got fired for joyriding on the roof
Of the elevator, what a goof

[Verse 6]
Made of concrete with a hollow shaft
They dropped pumpkins just to see them smashed
I went on a date there so long ago
And she never ever ever ever ever let me go

[Verse 7]
We crashed millions so Canadians
Could look out at their home on native land
Rockets played cowboys and Indians
Not being taught about colonialism
[Refrain]
See the tower
See the tower

[Verse 8]
Any questions, you can ask the mayor
If they're not banning a band or having an affair
Selling furniture, forging contracts
Or getting videotaped while they're smoking crack

[Verse 9]
You light up the city sky at night
Giving comfort with your laser light
Is that King Kong climbing to the top?
Will the tower ever ever ever ever ever stop?

[Verse 10]
Private parties on your upper deck
Looking at you is a pain in the neck
I could see you from my windowsill
I adored you, I adore you still
