Liona Boyd – The Toronto Song Lyrics

I want to show you Toronto
I want you to know Toronto
Our city welcomes you, there’s so much here to do
And you’ll soon be so in love with Toronto

We’ll see Chinatown and Harbourfront and old fort York
We’ll take in Pape and Danforth’s busy scenes
We can sail the lake and stroll the beaches boardwalk
Or bike the don valley’s beautiful ravines

We’ll go shopping at the old St Lawrence market
And picnic with our family in high park
We can catch a scenic ferry to the islands
And watch the CN tower light up after dark

So I want to show you Toronto
I want you to know Toronto
Our city welcomes you, there’s so much here to do
And you’ll soon be so in love with Toronto

We can rendez vous inside the Eaton’s center
Or walk to king street to book a Theatre tour
We’ll ride streetcars along queen street to Spadina
Or take the subway to Yonge street and Bloor

We can hang out in the small cafes in Yorkville
Or the CN’s royal winter fair
We’ll enjoy nuit blanche and pride and Caribana
Or the crowds down at Nathan Philips square

Once we were the town of York, and once we fought a war
Then we became a city back in eighteen thirty four (spoken)
Built on lake Ontario we’ve changed and we have grown
And people from around the world now call our city home

North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke!
“We call this city home,
Toronto is my home
Toronto is my home
Toronto is my home”
Go leafs go! Ok blue jays…let’s play ball! Argos! Raptors!
Show me what you want to Toronto, Toronto
I love, you love, we love Toronto!
Yes show me what you want to…Toronto, Toronto

Cause we all love Toronto!
So I want to show you Toronto
I want you to know Toronto
Our city welcomes you, there’s so much here to do
And you’ll soon be so in love with Toronto
Yes, you’ll soon be so in love with Toronto
