CHORUS:
I’ve got Canada in my pocket, a little bit of history
A penny and a nickel and a quarter and a dime mean a lot to you and me
It’s more than pocket money, they’re the symbols of our land
They’re pictures of important things for which this country stands
The maple leaf, the maple leaf, is a beautiful sight to see
It waves ‘hello’ to us below from the branch of a maple tree
And with every year that passes it grows like you and me
So should we all grow straight and tall like the lovely maple tree
CHORUS
The beaver, oh the beaver, is a beautiful sight to see
He’s a happy, furry animal like a teddy bear with teeth
He’s never ever lazy, he works all night and day
Building houses for his family, he’s got no time to play
CHORUS
The schooner, oh the schooner, is a beautiful sight to see
It’s a great big wooden sailing ship that can sail across the sea
It brings to other countries the things their people need
And brings back things like chocolate bars and books for us to read
CHORUS
The caribou, the caribou, is a beautiful sight to see
He’s a really big strong animal I’m sure you’ll all agree
He looks like Santa’s reindeer, and he loves it when the wind blows cold
So he lives up north with the polar bears ‘cause he likes the ice and snow
