      He strides along

      The cobblestone streets,

      His turned up nose

      Pointed proudly in the air.

      When he smiles

      A glow of self-worth

      Overcomes his body

      So much so

      That those around him

      Truly believe that he’s a Yankee.

      I’m no bloody Yank!

      He cries.

      "Don’t insult me

      You bloke.

      I’m Canadian

      God damn it!"

      He’s hyped

      Angry and offended

      Ready to take the buddy on.

      So eager

      Like a beaver.

      No one calls him a Yankee

      And bloody gets away with it.

      He’s Canadian

      He’s smarter

      Funnier

      And a hell of a guy.

      Please

      Don’t insult him.

      He’s Canadian

      God damn it.

      My heart breaks

      Whenever you move.

      I need you here

      To relieve my mind

      For another love

      Like you

      I would never find.

      In your arms

      I need to be

      For with you

      You’re all I need.

      Whenever you move

      So please don’t move.
