Loonies may rise
Loonies may fall
But we've still got the best dollar
of all
What's it called? LOONIE

Once upon a time before loonies
came to be
A dollar was a bill it had no identity
Then someone thought that we
needed change

Loonies may rise
Loonies may fall
But we've still got the best dollar
of all
What's it called? LOONIE

It was 1987, June 30th
The Royal Canadian Mint happily
gave birth
Their Loonie baby weighed 7 grams

Loonies may rise
Loonies may fall
But we've still got the best dollar
of all
What's it called? LOONIE

This change in the currency left Canada all abuzz
They loved that the Loonie doesn't rip like a bill does
A coined dollar that would be so strong

Loonies may rise
Loonies may fall
But we've still got the best dollar
of all
What's it called? LOONIE

The Loonie was so hot the dollar
bill was soon forgot
They're light, they're gold, they're shiny, they fit into a coin slot
So hot, 9 years later it a had a sister

Loonies may rise
Loonies may fall
But we've still got the best dollar
of all
What's it called? LOONIE

It's not a British Pound or
A Chinese Yen
But our little Loonie is proudly
Canadian
A coin for the nation's piggy banks

Loonies may rise
Loonies may fall
But we've still got the best dollar
of all
What's it called? LOONIE

Loonies may rise
Loonies may fall
But we've still got the best dollar
of all
What's it called? LOONIE
