Happy Canada Day!

 HAPPY CANADA DAY, FRIENDS!  By popular demand,  Moodswinging Mommy has resurrected last year's patriotic little ditty for you.   What is more Canadian than pointing out the famous people who are Canadian, eh?

The Canada Day Song

(Sung to the tune of The Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler)

Put on your red and white
"Hooray, what fun!" you say

It's an absolute delight

To celebrate Canada Day

Canada Day is our national holiday
Instead of stars and stripes, we have maple leafs to display

When you feel like the only kid in the world whose country's not a Superpower

Here's a list of people who are Canadian, so no need to get sour

Dan Aykroyd  and Wayne Gretzky think coloured money's just dandy
So do Jim Carrey, Avril Lavigne, the late Peter Jennings and John Candy

Guess who curls together on the Rideau Canal?
Children's author Robert Munsch and Sex in the City's Kim Cattrall
Matthew Perry's half Canadian, Evangeline Lilly's one hundred percent pure
Wouldn't they make a gorgeous Canuck baby?  Oh, for sure!

We don't need "Yankee Doodle."  Starting wars is not a perk
'Cause we can eat Kraft Dinner with the Barenaked Ladies and Captain Kirk

It's time to get out of bed

And put on your white and red

Grab a Molson with 24's Kiefer
Or Tommy Chong will share his reefer

George W Bush, he's not ours
Nor is Uncle Sam
But guess who is? That Baywatch babe named Pam
And we've got Alex Trebek, who by the way knows how to spell
Neighbour, cheque, centre, and Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle

Some people think the Toronto Raptors just can't win
Well, who cares anyway? 
We invented the game, (and insulin) 

So many Canadians are in the showbiz

Adam Sandler isn't, but I heard his co-star is.

Yes, let's celebrate Canada
The Lovely  Great White North
Ruled by our Sovereign, Queen Liz
Not Celine Dion, who thinks she is.

So go light your fireworks
And drink your favorite brew.
Have a happy, happy, happy, Happy Canada.....Day!
