Lyrics

Verse1
Moses had a stutter and - When he tried to speak our land

Out Came Canannaan - They weren't ready to cross the Ocean,


And here we have so much political correction, We'll say sorry for our toes
being stepped on,

By our fellow fugitives, harboured here to keep the peace for England,


And that's what makes our land - such a place where we can stand

Up for all happy communion,

For who should tell you what direction

you should choose for your orientation?

Prechorus 1:
Oh Mamma I feel so proud to say out loud

Chorus 1
Oh Canada I say can't we see?

We're as patriotic as we're despotic, from sea to sea,

The USA can turn to US, cause the A that we say shows the way,

To apologize for telling lies like they're trying to save the day


Verse 2:
The land of the free we get to share - With our neighbors over there

Our native land is our sacred soil and we said NO to their war for oil.


And we adore their country and love their children - Won't their adults please
look to who they're neighboring

War on terror? Please recognize, that's the corporation in disguise.



And that's what makes our land, such a place where we can stand,

up for merry decriminalization,

for who should tell you what direction,

you should pass a peace pipe around a Native nation


Prechorus 1:
Oh Pappa I feel so proud to say out loud

Chorus 2

Oh Canada free as a bird in mediocrity,

We just don't take ourselves that seriously

The USA can turn to US, cause the A that we say shows the way,

And with prayers and thanks. we ask that the Yanks

Will end the wars, and let the Earth behave


Bridge -

So let's keep at it, cause we've all had it,
True patriot love land, under no army's command,
God keep our station, free for an every nation,
Return celebration - cause we're standing on creation



Chorus 3

Oh Canada cold as ice or high as a kite,

We live in igloos and wigwams and have log jams

The USA will turn to US, and help put the A back in Hoorah,

Cause we're gay and we're free to be as we pray

Like children at play
