"Canada's Really Big" Lyrics

(spoken)
Thank you very much
Now we're very, uh, we're very patriotic Canadians
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 its 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 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 lot of work, it'd take a whole lot of 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 vacations
Our mountains are very pointy, our prairies 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 crowd, cause Canada's really big
