Lyrics
I Wanna Win a Juno
It would make my life complete,
If my mantle were replete,
With a high-gloss shine,
Pyramidal designed,
Juno award.
I wanna win a Juno,
I wonder if you know,
Just what that Juno,
Means to me?
So tall and acrylic,
It would be idyllic,
Can?t you see?
I wanna win a Juno,
I gotta see it through,
No one can keep me from this award.
The trains a-rollin? The whistle blowin, All Aboard!
(Juno) any category,
(Juno) Producer or best story,
(Juno) For the liner notes.
(Juno) I?ll tour in a hearse.
(Juno) I?ll cast a witches curse,
(Juno) If it gets me some votes!
Eye of newt,
Gerussi, Bruno get this boy a brand new Juno!
Just love those Juno?s,
Canadian as the Bluenose,
And one day who knows?
Maybe I?ll get mine.
But ?till that day comes,
I?ll tour the number one,
?Till the end of time.
Don?t want no Grammy,
Just ask my mammy,
It?s mamby-pamby,
Can?t you see?
Just love those Juno?s,
Numero-Uno,
For me.
(Premiére étoile pour moi)
**Endless thanks**
