The Arrogant Worms - Proud to be Canadian
[Album: Live Bait, 1997]
Our fair country Canada is north of the USA
Our maritimes are lovely and our prairies give us hay
You might think you Yankees are better than us Canucks
But we don't need no microchips inside our hockey pucks
We know that you've got Disneyland and you keep it very clean
But we don't have Bob Dole and we can drink when we're 19
We may watch your TV shows for hours and hours and hours
We'll give you Alan Thick, but Shania Twain is ours
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 is not too tasty, but your weather can't be beat
We all fly south in wintertime 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
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
Alanis Morissette, she is our latest pride and joy
She used to sing about high school dances and chasin' after boys
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
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
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
(Woo! Let's hear it for Canada! ;)) |
