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 Disney World
And you keep it very clean
We don't have Bob Dole
But we can drink when we're 19
We even watch your TV shows for hours and hours and hours
We'll give you Alan Thicke but Shania Twain is ours
We're proud to be Canadian
We're awfully nice to strangers
Our manners feel our curse
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian
We won't say that we are better
It's just that we're less worse
Your beer is not too tasty
And you weather can't be beat
We all fly south in the winter time
To escape the snow and sleet
We're pleased to say we've enjoyed all your southern charms
But we get sun burnt when we exercise our right to bear our arms
We're proud to be Canadian
We're awfully nice to strangers
Our manners feel our curse
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian
We won't say that we are better
It's just that we're less worse
Alanis Morrissette
She is our latest pride and joy
She used to sing about high school dances
And chancing 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 is on guard for thee
We're proud to be Canadian
We're awfully nice to strangers
Our manners feel our curse
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian
We won't say that we are better
It's just that we're less worse
We're proud to be Canadian
We're awfully nice to strangers
Our manners feel our curse
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian
We won't say that we are better
It's just that we're less worse
We won't say that we are better
It's just that we're less worse
Tears are not enough!
