Canadian, Please

37 Replies

A catchy little ditty by our neighbors to the north, Canada, just in time for Canada Day. Listen to the song a learn how you can be Canadian. With all the Canadian tourism commercials we’ve been seeing on TV, maybe Canada should use this song to promote Canada.

Canadian, Please

Lyrics for Canadian, Please

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, cariboo 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

    Insulin? Sure! And Canadians invented baseball gloves, apple pie, and basketball, … and let's not forget how Canadians advanced what is now known as telecommunication.

    Don’t forget that the Canadian Henry Woodward invented the light bulb… And sold it to mr Edison along with a share of the patent.

    1. Smarties, Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp and Apple pie are products from Canada.

    4. Tim Hortons beats Dunkin’ Donuts
    5. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.
    6. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth’s surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company.
    7. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, insulin, penicillin, zambonis and short wave radios that save countless lives each year.
    8. We invented Superman.
    9. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.

    ACTUALLY! People who are arguing on here on whether apple pie is Canadian or American are BOTH wrong. Apple pie was first invented in England, 1381. Jeez. Why not check Google before starting an argument?

    I am a proud Canadian but c’mon people, get your facts straight.
    Here are just a few corrections:
    Smarties are from England.
    Baseball has no “inventor” but the two men who most influenced it were both American.
    Mr. Dress-Up (Ernie Coombs) was an American who moved to Canada – so I guess you’re half right on that one.
    The Hudson’s Bay Company is Canada’s oldest company but far from the world’s oldest.
    A Canadian refined, not invented, the baseball glove.
    An electric (not THE) light bulb was invented by a Canadian and the patent sold to Edison but light bulbs had be around for almost 75 years by that point.
    The electron microscope is German.
    Jolly Jumper, Botox – American
    A Canadian introduced Standard Time to North America, it was already in use in Britain.
    Television – Hungary, Germany, Scotland, Britain, America. I can’t think of a single Canadian influence in early television development.

    this should be the national anthem of canada. yes i DO want to be canadian but sadly am native american (woot! go shinnecock!) but i plan of moving when out of college to canada. oui, je parle le francais. comme ca va?

    Ya we didn’t invent half that stuff, I have no idea where you came up with that list. I am loving the patriotism though. Since Penicillin is by far the most important on your list i’ll shoot that one down, it was invented by Sir Alexander Flemming who was scottish.

    OMG Canada rules!!!!!!!! And for anyone who thinks we say “eh” allot, we don’t. Canadians don’t really have accents at all, and when we do, you can’t really hear them. People from the states have much more very loud accentsw. What I mean by loud is that everyone noticies it. This song rules! And so does Canada!!!!!
