lyrics

Canadia

My bonnie, lovely lady
You are headed to Canadia
It will be so many days without your smile

Don't you think that just because
I'm roaming the Americas
That you won't be with me for every mile

On the sands of Mexico
The islands of Abaco
The coast of California, or the Windy City shore

I hope to meet you in your dreams
Stay away from grizzlies
Come back with all the toes and knees you had before

You'll be learning skills for life
Become like a Swiss Army Knife
Making coffee filters out of underwear

Your hair will get much rougher
Your skin will get much tougher
'Cause you can't take Lubriderm or razors there

But if you come back hairy
From the Yukon Territory
That won't change one bit the way I feel for you

If you come back a crocodile
I'll become the River Nile
So that I can still hold you if you want me to

My bonnie, lovely lady
You are headed to Canadia
It might be too many days to hold my breath

But I don't mind trying
And if I end up dying
It won't be from lack of air but loneliness

Aurora Borealis shows
Eating pies with eskimos
There will be so many entertaining things to do

But if you get some time alone
Eat an Arctica snow-cone
And think about a boy back home who's missing you
