I got dust on my collar babe don't get out that much
I got dust on my collar babe don't get out that much
But I can still make you holler babe with the slightest touch

I wake up nervous sometimes don't know what it is
I wake up nervous sometimes don't know what it is
Feel like I'm trapped in a furnace sometimes cranking 100 degrees

Last night the dogs were barking kept me up all night long
Last night the dogs were barking kept me up all night long
And now the horns are honking that's my neighbourhood song

Well it's the first of September and I can feel that autumn breeze blow
Yeah it's the first of September and I can feel that autumn breeze blow
Good times I remember and hard times now I know

You see the warplanes are flying but it's just for show
'Said the warplanes are flying but it's just for show
Could we handle the real thing? Man I don't know

Well those planes are still flying, they're rattling the windows and doors!
'Said those planes are still flying, they're rattling the windows and doors!
And the babies are crying and they'll be crying till we end all the wars!

Well Toronto's my home and I'm gonna be here all weekend long
'Said Toronto's my home and I'm gonna be here all weekend long
you see I don't need a holiday babe when my work's a song

I got dust on my collar don't get out that much
I got dust on my collar babe don't get out that much
But I can still make you holler babe with the slightest touch
