    I finished my first season in a curling league two months ago. That's even better.

    You people do realize that not all of Canada has frigid winters, right?

    I couldn't do it. I don't think I'd ever get used to sleeping in skates.

    Sssssssh ... let them think what they want. That way, we can keep the party to invitation only.

    All you have to do is sew a Canadian flag on your backpack like all of the other loosers when they travel overseas. No need for skates.

    I've got your picture of me and you
    You wrote I love you I love you too
    I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
    Oh its in color your hair is brown
    Your eyes are hazel and soft as clouds
    I often kiss you when theres no one else around

    I've got your picture, Ive got your picture
    I'd like a million of them all round my cell
    I asked the doctor to take your picture
    So I can look at you from inside as well
    You've got me turning up and turning down
    And turning in and turning round

    I'm turning Canadian
    I think I'm turning Canadian
    I really think so

    No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
    No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
    Everyone around me is a total stranger
    Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger everyone

    That's why I'm turning Canadian
    I think I'm turning Canadian
    I really think so

    That's so you're not mistaken for an American. :)

    We didn't think very hard about where we came from.
    And how that in itself could do us so wrong.
    We didn't bother to learn anyone else's language.
    You don't need many words for a drunk conversation.

    As we traveled through each foreign land.
    We heard their jokes, and we wanted in.
    So, we called ourselves Canadian.
    Yeah, colour us Canadian.

    We're all stopped at the border.
    No one's getting through.
    This passport once was golden.
    Guess that's no longer true.

    It wasn't drugs or cash.
    All that used to matter.
    It was a simple stare.
    And we knew not to feel flattered.

    When did it all go wrong?
    I'd like to know.
    We'd call ourselves Canadian.
    Anything but American.

    -- Koufax, Colour Us Canadian
