Another mystery song needs identifying. Can you help?

An email came in from Jonathan late last week.

“My new-to-me tape player came with some reels, and I’ve been playing them gradually. Lots of big-band recorded on-air from CFRB. But I’ve discovered something really interesting, which I’d like to ask you to listen to. Details and a transcript of the lyrics are at on the YouTube link.”

“The tape has various guitar warm-ups, but then features this fully-formed song a few times. I can’t find a trace of it online, and lyric searches are all negative. Not even the copyright-hungry YouTube algorithms recognize it.

“My best guess is that it’s an unpublished original from a garage band. I still have to play the rest of the tape to see if there are clues as to dates or cities. I live in Ottawa, where I acquired this tape, but there’s no telling yet whether it’s local to here, Toronto, or somewhere else in Canada or the US. I’m an oldies junkie – I stream oldies from CKWW in Windsor – and this song would fit easily in that format, but I’ve never heard it elsewhere, and so far no one else has, either.”
