When i look around me,
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!
Most people
Will tell you
That france is pretty large
But you can put
Fourteen frances
Into this land of ours
(it'd take a lotta work, it's take a whole lotta 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 mountains
Are very pointy
Our prairies are not
The rest is
Kinda bumpy
But, man, do we have a lot
(we gotta lot of land, we gotta whole lot of land)
So stand up and be pound
And sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd 'cause
Canada's really big!
