Perched high on a hill
The Ottawa River below
Our beloved seat of Parliament
A building we all know
Where parliamentarians toiled
Almost a century
To create, build and strengthen
Our great democracy
The Senate and the Commons
Lie within Centre Block's walls
And our dear Canada is governed
From within these hallowed halls
Every pillar, window, carving
Has a story it can tell
They all make up the history of
This building loved so well
Now it's time to say goodbye
For a time that seems so long
We will really miss it here
But our work, we'll carry on.
So long to Centre Block,
You've served Canada well.
For such great services rendered,
We thank you and say farewell!
