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 duex 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's 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 Céline 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 Greeks all chilled 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
