In Ottawa

Lyrics by Glick & Phillips

To the tune Otto Wood (traditional)

If yer ever up north in North America

You oughta see the city named Ottawa

In Ottawa there’s a lot to praise

In Ottawa folks even parlez Francais

Chorus:

Ottawa is cold as ice

Ottawa where folks is nice

In Ottawa ya oughta have a smile on your face

Ottawa is a kinda sorta nice place

John Gotti he was a bad outlaw

Till he moved up to Ottawa

He used to be into crime and vice

Now John Gotti is really really nice

There was a bad vote in Florida

So they called for help from folks in Ottawa

They smoothed things out & good friends now

But we still got stuck with George Bush anyhow

Ottawa invented excuse me

Thank you, no problem, I’m sorry and please

In Ottawa the only jerks there today

Are the tourists come up from the US of A

If you like punchin’ people in the jaw

You oughta never ever move to Ottawa

Folks here only know how to be glad

So go somewhere else if you want to be mad

On my last trip up to Ottawa

In a coffee shop, guess what I saw

A man ordered a cup and he also got

A side order of Medicinal Pot

A Ottawa nous dit "Francais"

Mais je ne parle pas… C’est vrais

Illes m’excuse en Ontario

Meme s’ils me trouvent Idiot

If Saddam Hussein had gone to Ottawa

George Bush might not have had to go to war

Ottawans could have taught a better way

It’s better to be nice any day. Eh?

When I go up to Ottawa

I head right down to the local bar

‘Cause Canadian beer I surely miss

When I’m back home drinkin’ that American… beer
