Proud To Be Canadian
Our fair country, Canada, is north of USA.
Our Maritimes are lovely and our prairies give us hay.
Oh, you might think you Yankees are better than us Canucks.
Well, we don't need no microchips inside our hockey pucks.
We know that you've got Disney World,
and you keep it very clean.
Well we don't have Bob Dole,
but we can drink when we're nineteen.
We may watch your TV shows for hours and hours and hours.
We'll give you Alan Thicke, but Shania Twain is ours.
Chorus:
We're proud to be Canadian.
We're awfully nice to strangers, our manners be our curse.
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian.
We won't say that we're better, it's just that we're less worse.
Your beer's not too tasty and your weather can be beat.
We all fly south in the winter time to escape the snow and sleet.
We're pleased to say that we've enjoyed all your southern charms.
But we get sunburnt when we exercise the right to bare our arms.
(Chorus)
Alanis Morrisette she is our latest pride and joy.
She used to sing about high school dances and chasing after boys.
But now she is fed up and about as angry as can be.
She's got one hand in her pocket, and the other's on guard for thee.
(Chorus)
(repeat)
Beers are not enough
We recommend: Nu-Horizons
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
six long months on a dust covered trail
they say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
chorus:
and there's fire on the mountain
lightning in the air
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
We were diggin and siftin from 5 to 5
sellin everything we found just to stay alive
gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
sinnin' was the big thing, lord and satan was his star
and there's fire on the mountain
lightning in the air
gold in them
