O Canada, Cathy Style

O Canada

Our home and native land.

True patriot love, not for your tiny, orange hands.

With hockey sticks and curling stones,

while geese peck at your ears,

we’ll dunk your ass in maple syrup

and feed you to the bears.

God keep our beavers

unmolested and free.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Our Canada is not for sale, you flea.
