Please buy a ticket to Toronto
Everybody misses you back here
Montreal’s too cold in the winter
And we only get to see you once a year

Daddy isn’t gettin’ any younger
And sister could really use a hand
Please buy a ticket to Toronto
Come on back as soon as you can

I’ve had a hard time and a good run
I’ve met a lot of good people over here
But finally you belong with your family
So I’m leavin’ for Toronto this year

I want to get away from these hard times
But the cross on the mountain pulls me back
It’s time I found another way of livin’
And it’s waiting for me down those snowy railroad tracks

Please buy a ticket to Toronto
Everybody misses you back here
Montreal’s too cold in the winter
And we only get to see you once a year

Daddy isn’t gettin’ any younger
Why spend your life just searching for a somg?
Please by a ticket to Toronto
Come on back - come on back where you belong
