▶ LYRICS

Yeah, I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in the 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

Brits have got the monarchy
The U.S. 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

Brits have got the monarchy
The U.S. 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

So you're thinking to yourself
"How do I live in this beautiful country?"
Well, I'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

Brits have got the monarchy
The U.S. 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

Back in elementary my school made us perform this song in front of the whole school, and we each got a different prop and got to sing the song. I got the best props, they were the money ( makin it rain style) and the huge koala plushie
