Canada We Love You Lyrics - Moxy Fruvous

This morning, all full of fear and trembling 

Constituents were assembling 

With quotes from Mr. Angus Ried in hand 

Joe Clark struck up the band for a televised love-in link-up 

Wherein average folks could think up ways to save our troubled land. 

Then later, three trucks with big antennas 

Folks dressed like Frank McKenna's 

And cub reporters showed up on my lawn 

Flashbulbs shook the dawn and a teleprompter told me 

To speak the words out boldly for a CanSave telethone. 

I think I love you, can they hear that out in Moosejaw 

Here's a simple guy from Oshawa 

With a heaping homespun hunk of national pride 

I think I love you, get some makeup on the neighbours... 

It's a humble, folksy plea...pick it up on camera three... 

They gave me coffee and made me sit with others 

Whom, if they'd had their druthers would rather be home watching NFL 

But I guess it's just as well that we find a common zeitgeist 

Before Preston pulls a seat-heist in a parliament from hell. 

The CanSave satellite send word from downtown Gander 

Where folks refused to pander to ultimatums sent by Neighbour Kim 

We were about to pack it in when our Brian started prayin' 

Let's all act like Sir John A. - in other words, let's hit the gin. 

Then came Alberta with a message from the Saddledome 

Said Canada's their true home 

There's just some slight instructions for us all 

They'd like to build a massive wall, top it with a bubble, pronto 

So they could call Toronto the all-new East Edmonton Mall. 

We'll sing we love you, you're a jumbo hero sandwich 

Top it off with Peter Mansbridge 

Two huskies and a bucket of poutine 

Canada we love you so much it doesn't matter 

You're a frigid, spineless pawn for Wall Street and the Pentagon... 

But, geez, we love you!
