Forgive Us We're Canadian Lyrics

Forgive Us We're Canadian Song Lyrics

(talking)

Uh, this next song was actually inspired by a review that we got when
we played the Edmonton Fringe Festivial last year. we thought that it was a
rather unique review, we were doing a political caberet and uh, the critic
from the Edmonton journal Complained that we had quote" to much canadian
content" Ok soo uh, we decided to write a song about that and it's called
Forgive us we're canadian.

We always say we're sorry we like to stand in line
when you ask us how we're doing, we always say just fine!

Forgive us we're canadian, we try hard to be nice
you too can be canadian if you follow this advice

we disagree on everything but we try to be polite
and we don't beleive in violence, except on hockey night
weve adopted Europen ways, replacing yards with meters
but we still must ask the question, how many miles in a litre?

Forgive us we're canadian, we try hard to be nice
you too can be canadian if you follow this advice

We could talk for hours on end about the constitution
Which is dry as toast but sure as heck beats war or reveloution
we don't much like to wave the flag we find patriotism shocking
so we celebrate on canada day by going cross border shopping

Forgive us we're canadian, we try hard to be nice
you too can be canadian if you follow this advice

We know how to dress for winter, we're not afraid of snow
and we love our country quietly, and hope quebec wont go

Forgive us we're canadian, and some might think us bland
But there's no where that we'd rather live....
That this vast and frozen land!
