(Jessie's note: One of my very favourite songs! Fun to march to, and oh so true..)
I can't believe what I see
It seems as if this country has
Lost its will to live
The economy is lousy
We barely have an army
But we can still stand proudly
Cause Canada's really big!
We're the second largest country
On this planet earth
And if Russia keeps on shrinking
Then soon we'll be first!
(As long as we keep Quebec)
The USA has tanks
And Switzerland has banks
They can keep them thanks
They just don't amount
Cause when you get down to it
You find out what the truth is
It isn't what you do with it
It's the size that counts
Cause people will tell you
That France is pretty large
But you can't put fourteen Frances
Into this land of ours
It'd take a lot of work
It'd take a whole lot of work
We're larger than Malaysia
Almost as big as Asia
We're bigger than Australia
And it's a continent!
So big we seldom bother
To go see one another
But we often go to other countries for vacation.
Our moutains are very pointy
Our prairies are not.
The rest is kinda bumpy..
But man do we have a lot!
We got a lot of land..
We got a whole lot of land!
So stand up and be proud
And sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd
Cause Canada's really big!!
