Beavers, Screech and Wilf Carter



Was a time
Everybody
Who came to Canada
Loved the fucking place.

Guess Canada
Is not
As lovable
As it once was.

Canada is not all beavers,

Screech and
A Wilf Carter record
Playing on the hi-fi
On Saturday night any more.

You must have me under surveillance....visited Mom for Thanksgiving and returned with a boxful of cassettes....Wilf Carter was in there, so was Nestor Pistor (now you know my heritage)...couldn't make that up if I tried....yeah, I hear what you're sayin'....walking around Europe with a little flag on my pack way back in the days you speak of...everyone wanting to hear about Canada

Nice one Beer.

In Canada we're still pretty cool but that's cause we have logs and coal.

I thought we were gonna fight them over there so we didn't have to fight them over here.
