lyrics

Ben's belt of bullets on her bed
Made for awkward conversation
Through his army get-up toe-to-head
Elle got a different education
He laced her in his boots and said,
"Over yourself seek domination."
Elle chose no violence, took the truth instead
There she found admiration

Elle brought the opera to the street
An alternative sophistication
Ben's boots pumped power to her feet,
Her soul - a staggering elation
Elle lived for art, a cause complete
And delivered it with love to the nation
And anything that came to break her beat
Turned to good through her imagination

The boots set out on the Montreal ice
To walk an ambition expedition
The winter wonderland turned into paradise
Elle turned in to Midas, the magician
Thus, she learned to flaunt her saunter
In the boots that walked a mission
And the kids from the Belle Province came to join her
In a new rendition of tradition
