Up in Downsview where the skies are grey
I can take my Mazda down the old parkway
>From what they tell me I just make a right
To the place that`s jumping every day and night.
Well, I`m glad to say I`m on my way
To where ducks and jugglers and children play
I may be stuck in traffic, but I`m on the hunt
Gonna find my harbour down at Harbourfront.
Pleasure bound I started walking around
It took me half an hour to find some grassy ground
I spread my blanket, but I got no sun
Just the shadow of the condominium
Well, I`m sad to say they blocked the way
They took my view and my naivete
I saw lots of condos, but to be blunt
I didn`t see no harbour down at Harbourfront.
Hey! Is there no Metro plan?
There`s no need for a cultural home
So tell me what do you say alderman?
Build a casino with lots of chrome.
Take 10 story, 20 story, 30 story Lunch!
There`s no need for a cultural home
We`re gonna solve that intangible budget crunch!
Pave the harbour from the shore to the `Dome.
I took my problem to so many doors
To the Feds, Queen`s Park, and councillors
They sent me on to a businessman
Who said son, listen up, I understand
You see, I`m glad to say you`ll get your way
Your Authorsfest and your Children`s Day
That artsy stuff, spring, summer, fall
On parking level three of HarbourMall!
Say, see where the art used to be?
Back to business at HarbourMall
Skydome`s a runt next to King Harbourfront
Give the business to HarbourMall.
So now I see the situation`s clear
We`ll have HarbourFun every day of the year
Under HarbourMall`s roof I`ll get my sun
With the tanning salon and Mr. Eggleton.
Well, I`m glad to say we got our way
The Authorsfest and the Children`s Day
All that artsy stuff, spring, summer, fall
On parking level three of HarbourMall...
...HarbourMall fun in the city!
