thank you very much
now we're very uh, we're very patriotic canaidians
and we'd like to take this moment to,
uh, to do our national anthem, that we wrote

When i look around me, i can't believe what i see
it seems as if this country has lost it's will to live
the economy is lousy, we barely have an army
but we can still stand proudly because 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 banks, 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 france's, into this land of ours!
(it'd take a lot of work, it'd take a whole lot of work

we're bigger than malaysia, we're most as big as asia
we're bigger than australia and it's a continent
so big we sell them butter, to go see one another
but we often go to other countries for vacations
our mountains are very pointy, our praries are not
the rest is kinda bumpy, but man do we have a lot!
(we've got a lot of land, we've got a whole lot of land)

so stand up and be proud and sing it very loud
we stand out from the crwod, cause Canada's really big

Sid, another thanks for a trip down memory lane. But, um, Sid, honey, you've got to give credit where credit is due.

Why do you keep posting entire Arrogant Worms songs? or just short quotes?

Almost as great as:
quote:
Welcome to Canada, it's the Maple Leaf State
Canada, oh Canada it's great!
The people are nice and they speak French too.
If you don't like it, man, you sniff glue.
The Great White North, their kilts are plaid,
Hosers take off, it's not half bad.

I want to be where yaks can run free,
Where Royal Mounties can arrest me.

Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait.

They've got trees, and mooses, and sled dogs,
Lots of lumber, and lumberjacks, and logs!
We all think it's kind of a drag,
That you have to go there to get milk in a bag.
They say "eh?" instead of "what?" or "duh?"
That's the mighty power of Canada.

I want to be where lemmings run into the sea,
Where the marmosets can attack me.

-Five Iron Frenzy, Oh, Canada

Sid, you misunderstood me, I believe. I was not accusing you of stealing anyone's work. I was saying that it would be better if you indicated, either before or after the written work, who wrote it. When I read something like that, I like to know who the author is. That's all. [Smile]

Edit because I like the illusion that I know how to spell.

The US is the Eagle
Russia is the Bear
Australia is the Kangaroo
'cause they're kinda weird down there
Yeahhh,
India is the Tiger
That stands so proud and tall
But Canada is the greatest of them all
We are the Beaver
We're furry and we're free
Yeah, we are the Beaver
We got two big front teeth
Yeah we are the beaver
We can chew right through small trees
Yeah, we are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver
You might think a rodent
Is a pretty lame choice
For a national animal
But don't ya listen to that voice
No, 'cause all them birds and predators just take from the land
But the beaver always gives a dam
We are the beaver
We got cute little webbed feet
Yeah, we are the beaver
It's bark we like to eat
Yeah, we are the beaver
The nickel we complete
Yeah, we are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver
The eagle flys the skies above then swoops down on it's prey
The big bear will maul anyone that dares gets in its way
The tiger is the greatest of the hunters today
But the beaver, it can build dams, yeah
The beaver it can build dams, dams
DAAAAAAAAAAAMMMSSSSSSSSSSSS
We are the beaver
We slap our tails when danger's nearby
We are the beaver
We got waterproof hides
Yeah, we are the beaver
We got big bums and beady eyes
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver
We are the beaver
Our name is often used as a double ententrade
Yeah, we are the beaver
'Cause in Canada both french and english belong
Yeah we are the beaver
And the subject of this song is
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver
I Can't hear you
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver
are ya gettin' the point?
we are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver

Arrogant Worms - We are the Beaver

I prefer this one actually.
