Often On The Weekend I'll Jump In My Car
I Won't Fill Up The Tank Although I'm Going Far
And If Somebody Asks Me If I'm Going To A Bar
I'll Say I'm Shopping 'cross The Border In The USA
I Don't Go Down There To Buy My Groceries
I Respect Our Farmers And Our Factories
I Don't Believe That "local" Means It's Poor In Quality
It's Just Our Goddamn Prices Are Too High

(If He Stays Away For Just Two Days)
I'll Get One Hundred Dollars Duty-free
If It Adds To More I Won't Claim It For
(He Won't Declare The Products If They're In His Trunk)

Although It Is Canada That I Call Home
I Don't Cheer For The Yankees When I'm In The Dome
I Didn't Swell With Pride During The Desert Storm
It's Just That I Don't Want To Pay The Tax
(It's Just That He's Too Cheap To Pay The Tax)

(Yes, It's Just Like This, He's A Loyalist)
I'll Only Shop At Malls That Fly Our Flag
(And He'll Tell Bob Rae That He Just Won't Pay)
Unless I Need My Unemployment Benefits
(Get A Job, Get A Job, Get A Job)

Now Everyone Is Doing The Same Thing As Me
They're Doing What They Can To Beat The GST
They're Lining Up For Miles At The Duty-Free
So I Bought A JC Penny's Store In Buffalo
(So Everybody Come On Down To Buffalo)

(Cause If You Stay Away For Just Two Days)
You'll Get One Hundred Dollars Duty-free
Though It's Not At Par It'll Still Go Far
And It Ends Up In The Pockets Of A Country Man
(It Ends Up In The Pockets Of A Country Man)

Oh, Canada.
