Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please Even if in winter things tend to freeze We've got the world monopoly on trees And our country's bordered by three different seas
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please We invented the zipper, we've got expertise We made insulin to combat disease Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
CHORUS Brits have got the monarchy The US has the money But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese Koalas chill with the Aussies But I know that you wanna be Canadian
Et si ce n'était pas assez On a deux langues officielles: L'anglais et le français Ooh la la
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please Where else do you find mounted police Or go to the hospital and not pay fees Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
And when freshwater is in high demand We've got the world's largest supply on hand So you know that we could make a pretty good friend But it's even better if you can be...
CHORUS
So you're thinking to yourself, \"How do I live in this beautiful country?\" Well we've got some steps for you to follow...
STEP 1: Lose the gun STEP 2: Buy a canoe STEP 3: Live multiculturally STEP 4: You're ready, there is no more!
We got beavers, caribou and moose We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose And we're sorry about Celine Dion But she did do that good song for James Cameron...
CHORUS Brits have got the monarchy The US has the money But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese Koalas chill with the Aussies But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The Greek chilled out with Socrates Can't build a wall like the Chinese But I know that you wanna be Canadian
In Kenya they have safaris We've missed lots of other countries But I know that you wanna be Canadian
