“Canada Day”
Hip hip hooray it is Canada Day
In our home and our native land
Hip hip hooray it’s a day to be gay
From a government who says that we can
Hip hip hooray it is Canada’s Day
As our leaderless leaders would cry
Hip hip hooray it is Canada Day
Forget the graft, and the cheats and the lies
Hip hip hooray it is Canada Day
With righteousness the bureaucrats hide
Hip hip hooray it’s our national day
Let’s undermine our Veteran’s pride
Hip hip hooray, it’s the Canadian way
To lose sight of a national dream
Hip hip hooray on this Canada Day
To be mired in our regional screams
So sad to say on this Canada Day
To keep integrity and values at bay
So sad to say on this Canadian day
That my country is lost in its way
