Weird Al Yankovic - Canadian Idiot Lyrics






Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don't wanna be some beer swillin' hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hose-head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed

They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they leave the house without packin' heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid Monopoly money
Can't take 'em seriously at all

Well maple syrup and snow's what they export
They treat curling just like it's a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can't understand a thing they're talkin' aboot

Sure they got their national health care
Cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean air
Then again well they got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of drivin' a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won't figure out their temperature in Celsius
See the map, they're hoverin' right over us
Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous

Always hear the same kind of story
Break their nose and they'll just say "sorry"
Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite?
It's gotta mean they're all up to somethin'
So quick, before they see it comin'
Time for a pre-emptive strike!

    I spent time in the States because my Wife is from Chicago and my Son was born in McHenry Illinois. A lot of Americans laugh about the "They'll break your nose and mail you to say sorry" joke but they don't seem to get... You're the one with the broken nose. And we didn't do it with an absurd arsenal. Up here... You wanna go? Throw 'em up! Harden the fuck up or go back and hide behind your toys! We need our guns for legitimate threats from wildlife, not each other!!!

    Wait what

  57. R.... N....

    as a canadian, this is all true

  58. e.... c....

    Vive le Québec libre

  59. S.... C....

    I plan to move to Canada in a few months... I will be listening to this the entire way there and laughing my skirt off the entire way there

  60. C.... W....

    Lol. I love my Canadian friends but this reminds me of South Park when they rip on Canadians. Eh?

  61. M.... d....

    2006 and I just end up on that masterpiece. Wow as a Canadian... A French Canadian, the worse type of Canadian .... I approve this big time ;)

    Love Weird Al and great video. Amazing.

    M.... d....

    Vive le Québec libre

  62. p.... ....

    Omg Green day actually copied this... wow

  63. L.... P....

    Holy man and realize how insulting that is two Canadians!

    L.... P....

    It's not at all insulting to Canadians; it is mostly satirizing American society with a few funny Canadian stereotypes thrown in. If you pay attention, most of the lyrics say more about the U.S. than they do about Canada. For example, the song points out America's obsession with guns, their lack of free healthcare, their inferior imperial system, their currency looking too similar, their paranoia, their love of war, and their overall ignorance of other countries. Americans have a lot more reason to take offense to this song than Canadians do, but even then I doubt you would find many people who would get genuinely offended by a silly Weird Al parody.

    L.... P....

    Sorry guy I still feel a little insulted when I watched it again maybe I am a Canadian idiot!

  64. �.... �....

    Who made this Melody first green day or you?

  65. B.... T....

    Kraft Dinner man. They don’t sell Mac & Cheese here. Almost ruined the video with that.

  66. M.... R....

    This song is better then American idiot

  67. g.... g....

    canada is a lot beter then amrica we do not have a dick for a prsadent

  68. M.... F....

    This is fucked up bro

  69. g.... g....

    I'm 10 and the video is older than me probably only video older than me lol

    g.... g....

    Most of Weird Al's videos are older than you. He started in 1979.
    Published dates only refer to published on you tube, not when his videos were released and shown on tv.

  70. M.... -....

    The original song sounds like the Johnny test theme song

  71. B.... H....

    Though I love this song, I hate to think of Rick Moranis as an idiot of any kind :(

  72. D.... r....

    Better than green day (American idiot)

  73. w.... l....

    ha your about to get killed by a zamboni
