lyrics

Well it's a Saturday and we're all out to play.
We're dressed like gentleman with monocles and top hats and canes.
With corkscrew smiles and winks in our eyes, because you know that we're a real good time.

So we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Cheers to the girls on the barstools
Salute to the friends we love
We're here to be bright and merry
and we don't need an excuse just because.

Taking a stroll down Mill street.
Stumbling over cobble stone.
I flipping love Toronto.
There's nowhere else that I'd rather call home.
Let's head over to the Maddie.
It's a one way ticket to madness.
Everything's so damn funny.
And to those who think their too much a mess

Well we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Cheers to the girls on the barstools
Salute to the friends we love
We're here to be bright and merry
and we don't need an excuse just because.

Captain won't you steer me?
Steer me in the right direction.
Doctor won't you cure me,
Because I'm suffering from manic depression

We sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Cheers to the girls on the barstools
Salute to the friends we love
We're here to be bright and merry
and we don't need an excuse just because.
So we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
So we sing
Nobody likes a Debbie.
Nobody needs a pain.
Nobody wants the toothache
we get when we're calling you name.
