I Wanna Be A Canadian lyrics

I wanna be a Canadian

Get played on Canadian radio

I wouldn’t care if the rest of the world didn’t know about me

I wanna live in a country

You don’t claw your way to the top

And people genuinely seem to care about other people

I’ll give up California sun,

Nights at Dodger Stadium,

Backyard avocado trees

And jacarandas swayin' in the breeze

I wanna be a Canadian

If I’m sick in a Canadian hospital,

Won’t experience losing my lunch when I get the bill

If I became a Canadian,

Wouldn’t vote for the president.

If Sarah Palin becomes it,

I’ll already be gone

Goodbye, Independence Day

On Thanksgiving, no parade

Trader Joe’s, a house that’s mine

And inexpensive Napa Valley wine

I’ll learn the names of the territories and provinces

Drive at the speed of kilometers, shiver in Celsius

I’ll even learn “O Canada” on accordion

Oui et même parler français s’il vous plait merci

I wanna be a Canadian

Take the Trans-Canada Highway to Labrador

See the Canadian Rockies in the springtime

The Canadian government

Doesn’t bully the rest of the world

And when you travel abroad, people like you when you’re Canadian

Farewell cousins, so long, friends

They may not let me back again

So get your passport, book a flight

Come on up, see a different kind of life

I wanna be a Canadian, yeah, yeah [x4]
