Forgive Us We're Canadian

(talking)

Uh, this next song was actually inspired by a review that we got when
we played the Edmonton Fringe Festivile. we thought that it was a
rather unique review, we were doing a political caberae and uh, the critic
for 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
and when you ask us how we're doing, we aways 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 belive in violence, except on hockey night
we adopted Europen ways, replacing yards with meters
but we still must ask the question, how many miles in a liter

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

We could take for hours on end about the constatution
Which is dry as toast but sure as heck beats war or reveloution
we don't much like to wave the flag we find patritism shocking
so we celebrate on canada day by going cross boarders 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 it's planned
But there's no where that we'd rather live....
That this vast and frozen land!
