Canada...
what's with Canada...
We got great big cities but a lot of trees and rocks...
Yeah the winter’s cold here – wear two pairs of socks..
There’s half the world’s fresh water, to paddle your canoe
Camp along the shoreline, it’s what we like to do.
In Canada…
I'm living in Canada...
Float my boat in Canada...
Bait my hook in Canada...
We tend to do things different, we each have our routine
Some of us eat kubassa, some of us, poutine
(Oh, j'aime poutine!)
But we have traditions, that help us stick together
Our milk comes in a bag, mosquitos eat at leisure.
Playing in a snowsuit, true north strong and free
Hockey Night on Saturday, there on CBC,
In Canada...
Center ice in Canada...
He shoots he scores in Canada...
I'm a player in Canada...
We pronounce the letter R like we’re pirates on a ship
We’ll drive two thousand miles, for a summer camping trip.
We wear Sorels in winter, while plugging in the car
We eat the holes from donuts, we love Nanaimo bars.
And we do possess a word that lubricates our speech:
…“It’s pretty good, eh” …
…“pretty good, eh” …
and it’s always within reach,
In Canada...
How's it going in Canada
Out and about in Canada
Drop your G in Canada...
I’ve slept out in the forest, scared I heard a bear.
I’ve climbed a Rocky Mountain, just because it’s there,
Crossed the great St Lawrence, said merci beaucoup,
Pardon me; I’m sorry; excuse me; after you,
In Canada...
Politely in Canada
Line-up here in Canada
You don't butt in in Canada...
Every city empties on the 24th of May.
(Queens Birthday!)
If we say “Not bad!”, we’re better than OK,
There’s workman’s comp and pogie, for when we’re shown the door.
There’s Canadian Tire money, in at least one kitchen drawer
And we have a golden rule that runs between these shores:
You stay out of my face, I’ll stay out of yours…
In Canada...
Get Along in Canada
Kissed the cod in Canada
The Friendly Giant’s in Canada...
Canada...
Bonne fête Canada!
Happy Canada Day from the Hadfield Family.
