O Canada

O Canada By Elton Camp Oh Canada, what a neighbor you are With cold and snow fronts so bizarre If only, at the border, we could build a wall So keep them out, but it’d have to be too tall Besides, we’d never want to cause offense You sent us Michael J. Fox--what a prince! Alex Trebek brings us Jeopardy! too Without him, what would we do? Then, you’ve got a fine old queen we heard Who beats the heck out of George the Third We provide strange folks to amuse Thus, your clunkers we can’t refuse An odious, teenage idol to irritate It looks like jail will become his fate Plus some, who in Canada remain Give us a chuckle mixed with disdain We’ve had mayors just as weird as he But he hangs it out for everyone to see Oliver and Hardy the duo may not be But they provide us delightful comedy Thus, hail to the northern neighbor so vast We love your people, not your Arctic blast
