Now you've had your honeymoon in the Poconos,
Now you've had your heart-shaped tub,
Bring along the time-lapse photo of the two of us wrestling on a bearskin rug,
Come on.

Take me to love canal,
Take me to love canal.

'74, I left my neighbourhood, looking for a Buffalo gal,
Everybody gone when I got back home, and I think I like it better now,
It's better now.

Take me to love canal,
Take me to love canal,
Take me to love canal,
Take me to love canal.

You and me, and the Siamese twins,
Little dears with their crocodile skins,
Just living off the fat of the land,
If you lived here, you'd be home now.

Come on, little baby, you'll like it up there; the wide open space and the big blue air,
You'd be surprised what you can get used to when your only other choice is Houston.

Take me to love canal,
Take me to love canal,
Take me to love canal,
Take me to love canal.
