I am thrilled that my original song, entitled “When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go!”, was selected as one of the winning submissions to the GottaGo! Campaign Ottawa contest!! Here are the lyrics and below that, an audio recording of the winning song.

My friends Jo and Mo and Flo,
Say there’s something that the city oughta know,
Ottawa needs to have more public toilets,
‘Cause they can’t find a place when they gotta go.

Oh, life here in the capital,
Can offer so much joy to share.
But when you gotta go,
And got no place to go,
Well, it can be a very upsetting affair.

Nobody would ever have to feel embarrassed,
If we had a toilet system like in Paris.
Ottawa needs to have more public toilets,
‘Cause when we gotta go, we gotta go.

Sometimes there’s no time to stall,
When you hear nature call.
