In Canada

Intro: verse 1 Canada....What’s with Canada... We got great big cities but a lot of trees and rocks And ya 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 (oooh) I’m livin in Canada (oooh) Float my boat in Canada (oooh) Bait my hook in Canada (oooh) verse 2 We tend to do things different, we each have our routine Some of us eat kubassa, some of us, poutine (Ah, J’aime Poutine) But we have traditions, that help us stick together Our milk comes in a bag, and mosquitos eat at leisure.

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” (“It’s pretty good, eh” ) and it’s always within reach..

(Queen’s Birthday) If we say “Not bad!”, (“Not bad!”) we’re better than OK, (“Not bad!”) 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: (stop) You stay out of my face, I’ll stay out of yours… In Canada (oooh) I get along In Canada (oooh) Kissed the cod In Canada (oooh) The Friendly Giant’s In Canada (slow) Oh oh oh oh oh… Outro Oh oh….
