about

6. TORONTAUN
“Growing weary of the constant galactic battles being waged on his frosty homeworld, Torontaun packed up and moved to Toronto in search of life, love and warmer temperatures!” Written by Wordburglar. Produced by Diagnostik80. Scratches by More Or Les. Recorded and mixed by Fresh Kils at The Kiln.

lyrics

Alright What can I tell ya about the Torontaun /
Running along the Don without long johns /
On foot in the snow going for Wontons /
By Spadina then sliding by your Aunt's Lawn /

VERSE 1
Torontaun! Never froze and won't quit it/ When the going gets tough you know it goes with it / Hitting low digits so frigid no blizzard / Could ever slow down the town Snow Lizard! /
A galaxy far away to the GTA / He's swift catch a lift when you see the Jays / Going the right of way, respecting all the Bike Lanes /
No complaints 'bout weather – used to the Ice Age / A rare species you'll see him in shorts / Showing support for Hogtown team sports / He the north! In or outdoors on the courts /
Hard to ignore the weird horse with the horns /When it comes to winning the Cups and World Serieses / Real serious! No shot? He's not hearing it / In the Six with his Woes every morning yo /
Working hard but y'know he can't afford a home /

CHORUS
S'all good, that's just the life of the Torontaun!
Running along the Don without long johns /
On foot in the snow going for Wontons /
By Spadina then sliding by your Aunt's Lawn /
(repeats)

VERSE 2
It's quite a sight if you ever catch him gallop eh / More famous than Matt Galloway or Halladay / They say he Immigrated to the dot from Hoth / Loves TIFF and hitting coffee shops a lot / Got a Broadview of the city like Riverdale Park / Chilling on a patio sipping ales dark / Reading Atwood, listening to Jeff Healey / “Is he actually 2 meters tall?” Yes, really / Torontaun! He's everything you heard yo / Four nostrils, claws and a fur coat / Tourists go on the hunt in rain or snow / My cousin got a pic in front of the AGO / And hey you know he supports The ROM 'cause / They don't have any exhibits on Wampas / He knows he's hot – doesn't need to brag / Plus when he's dead you can use him as a sleeping bag /

CHORUS
S'all good, that's just the life of the Torontaun!
Running along the Don without long johns /
On foot in the snow going for Wontons /
By Spadina then sliding by your Aunt's Lawn /
(Repeats)

VERSE 3
Subzero Temps no problem to handle / The only Star Camel who's friends with Mark Hamill / Islington to Kennedy to Echo Base / In the summer you can catch him at the EX all day / OK! And if you didn't know, well you know now / Give him a shovel and he's a snow plow / So proud! Survived Empire Strikes Back /
Blackouts, SARS and Mayors on Crack / Yeah! That's the Torontaun! Jogging Woodlawn all the way up to Vauhghn /
Spell it's name in a strong font / Invite him out to your restaurant's launch / The one and only Torontaun / Don't confuse with the Edmon-tauntaun! Or the Saskatchewan-Taun /VanBantha? You got the wrong song /

CHORUS + CUTS

(adlibs)
Shout out the the Hal-Ewok! 'Course can't forget the Winna-Porg! Yeah! It's Wordburgie!
