Congratulations on the toilet

It’s a concept we adore

The only problem with the toilet

Is we need a hundred more!

There’s a lineup for the toilet

Mayor Naheed Nenshi

Give us enough to serve the public

Then we’ll all shout YIPPEE!

Do you have to go, do you have to go

Do you have to go right now, oh wow

Do you have to go, do you to go

Do you have to go right now?

How ‘bout one on each street corner

In busy neighbourhoods?

It’s just a wee drop in the bucket

But we think that goal is good.

Pee pie piddly on no

Pee pie piddly on no oh ohhh

Pee pie piddly  on noh

I really had to go!

Congratulations on the toilet

It’s a concept we adore

The only problem with the toilet

Is we need a hundred MORE!

(On the occasion of the opening of the first fully automated public toilet in Calgary)

It’s been 20 years and the Grannies aren’t gonna slow down

We’ve sung and we’ve raged and folks still wanna keep us around

A toast to ourselves – it’s a wonderful day

Years fly away, years fly away, years fly away

We’ve been asked to leave, and we’ve asked to undress

We keep our cool, so we don’t get involved in a mess

The rainbows still come – and our members don’t pay

Years fly away, years fly away, years fly away

To the seasoned we say we really owe you a lot

To the new ones who join, we’re grateful to give you a spot

Thanks to you all – it’s time now to play

Years fly away, years fly away, years fly away

With the help of good drugs, we’re all gonna live a bit more

If it’s time to party, we’ll be lined up at the door

Here’s to you Grannies for our 20 year stay

Years fly away, years fly away, years fly away
