East Burnaby, East Burnaby
At least it’s not New West
We tried to keep the homeless out
We really tried our best
Alas the housing crisis came
Our Derek lost his bearings
So now we’re building shelters
And not acting so uncaring
To watch the cops throw up their hands
As you cross 10th Avenue
Reminds one of the benefits
Of police force overview
Like all good Burnabarians
I love our Mounties dearly
How could they ever use us ill
Or treat us cavalierly
But should you need assistance
From the New West PD
You’ll see a difference written plain
From our RCMP
East Burnaby, East Burnaby
Samosas on the breeze
Within two steps it’s dim sum
Pork adobo follows these
East Burnaby, East Burnaby
So great it almost hurts
And housing’s tight so now we fight
For legalizing yurts
A multi ethnic youth gang came
And shovelled all my snow
I’m lucky to be living here
I hope I never go
