lyrics

South Keys
Ottawa, please!
Still the beauty backside
of the 6-1-3

still the first and still the best
from Hunt Club to Pinecrest
from ivory skin purely applied with zest
you'll never feel fully clean

everything you were hunting for
every day you want it more and more
from big box to silverscreen
and everything in between

Walmart to Bulk Barn
my heart says darn
i missed the blockbuster
while i was spinning this yarn

it's the karma farm
i'm getting hooked on big pharm
no worries, in the keys
you can't possibly come to harm

it's the future, it's the past
it's the greatest shopping day since the last
i'm going to see another flick
with my favourite cast

i'm tripping on post-consumer philosphy
i'm going nuts at the bulk barn see
take the o-train to retail glee
it's all so cheap it's practically free

South Keys!
Ottawa, please!
Let's get some grits and grease
at one of the last Denny's

we'll begin a new chapter of sleaze
stop, drop, and shop now
when i say “freeze!”

i recommend a game of last man standing in the aisle
everyone file
to the cash register please

now everyone on your toes
there's a sale at Globo, and i know
their all outta your size in those leather knee-highs
it's just a tease!

Don't try to squeeze
into a smaller pair
i know, it's not fair
let's just go get a bite at Kelsey's...

oh South Keys...
