Y'know, this morning as I was laying in my bed
Just lazy Saturday morning thoughts drifting through my head
When kinda suddenly, y'know, outta the blue
I thought of something
SURE!, I'll tell you!
I thought
"I'm proud to be..."

-Chorus-:
CANADIAN!
Coz that's who I am
An' that's where I'm from
And that's what I am
--Americans are pretty cool
But I wouldn't wanna be one of them
Not to be patriotic or anything but...
CANADIANS RULE!!!
...Eh?

To answer some of your questions
I'll try to stay brief
Ain't no President for us!--
A PRIME MINISTER
It's kinda like a Frenchie chief.
Naaah we don't live in igloos
And so that means we DO have running water
To be completely honest;
I hate our winters--they need to be hotter!

We'll kick your ass in hockey
Coz it's our game
Don't worry, my pet Bigfoot is
...pretty... tame
If he rips off your arm
I promise, I'll put it on ice A.S.A.P.
(You know, with the Bud Light)
--Canada! What a fine country!
Did you know it means
"Vast land of ice and many Tim Hortons"?
Oh yeah, they're the best ones!
A Timmy's on every corner
That's truly so fine!
Just go 10 feet, you'll see a Tim's sign!
They ain't 'donut holes' dummy
They're TIMBITS
That's why I'm proud to be...

-repeat chorus-

Hockey's the best! Just give me a stick and a puck
Coz I'm a 100% Canuck!
About football and baseball
Nah, I don't really give a ...
Care. --WHAT?! What did you think I was gonna say?
I'm a mild, meek Canuck,
I don't say such words. Eh?

It's a said fact,
If I travel the world, people are nicer to me
Heh, just coz I'm Canadian, I get more hospitality!
We're the second largest country in the world
Yet half the population of the U.K.
...Was I going somewhere with that?...
Stop looking at me!!! ...Eh?

I used to have a pet beaver.
I named him Fluffy!
Until he got hit by a falling tree...
For a dollar, instead of flimsy paper,
We've got a coin!
Yeah it's called a LOONIE
--And don't get me started on those TWOONIES! (You can get 20 timbits for one!)
With my money talk, I've barely begun
On our pennies, you won't find ol' Abe
You'll see the Queen--
What a stern babe!
On our nickels (5 cents you know)
Its FLUFFY!!! *sob* How I miss him so!
--On a dime, we have some ol' ship
Then for our quarter, there's some kinda moose.
A few moose coins make a good tip!
--Omg you've GOTTA try our cusine
MMM! Yum yum, some baked beans! Maple syrup and uh... well NOT whale fat!
I personally don't eat any of that!
To keep ourselves sane in the long winter nearly all year round,
There's curling, lacrosse, and ice fishing. WEEE Skating across the ground!
Newfies--yeah, what about 'em?
Oh, all those jokes
I think those are just friendly, jesting pokes...

Terry Clark, Doc Walker, and Adam Gregory
Yeah we produced them, and they all kick butt, don't you agree?
Some Americans might refer to us as "up there" or "the 51st state"
I'd rather be "up" then "down" there!
No matter what, I'm proud to be...

-repeat chorus-

GO, CANADA!
