The Lyrics
This is the song I'll be singing if Bush gets re-elected.
Born down in Espresso Town
My first 16 years were peaceful and sound
Then 4 years ago came George Dubya Bush
And away went that prosperity in one big rush
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
This country's got itself in quite a jam
Soon they'll put a rifle in my hand
They'll send me off to a foreign land
Just to help some rich oil man
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Come back home and get my tax return
$300 is some money to burn
But those rich businessmen get eighty times more
Makes me feel like a 10 cent whore
I had an uncle who worked in a mill
Making pants and sweatshirts out of twill
He's still there, but his job's in Brazil
There's all these people living in their cars
Now Dubya Bush just wants to go to Mars
Down on the corner by the hockey rink
I'll have a nice house and the air won't stink
It's not as great as once was America
But with Bush in charge, this move's a no-brain-a
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
I'm a Yankee expatriot in Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
I'm a cool hockey fan up in Ca-na-da
My first 16 years were peaceful and sound
Then 4 years ago came George Dubya Bush
And away went that prosperity in one big rush
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
This country's got itself in quite a jam
Soon they'll put a rifle in my hand
They'll send me off to a foreign land
Just to help some rich oil man
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Come back home and get my tax return
$300 is some money to burn
But those rich businessmen get eighty times more
Makes me feel like a 10 cent whore
I had an uncle who worked in a mill
Making pants and sweatshirts out of twill
He's still there, but his job's in Brazil
There's all these people living in their cars
Now Dubya Bush just wants to go to Mars
Down on the corner by the hockey rink
I'll have a nice house and the air won't stink
It's not as great as once was America
But with Bush in charge, this move's a no-brain-a
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Yes I'm moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
I'm a Yankee expatriot in Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
Moooo-vin' to Ca-na-da
I'm a cool hockey fan up in Ca-na-da

Hey Jake, If you get tired of that Northern Land Come on and join me here, in Japan
Great job. also check out this Canadian link: www.amiright.com/parody/80s/neildiamond.shtml
Just don't start rooting for the Blue Jays or the Maple Leafs.
That's a great parody! Ain't it the truth!
Mac You're From Japan?
I completely disagree with your point of view and think that you are a very foolish imbecile for considering moving to a pissant little country like Canada. However, I have enough respect for your ability that I will kindly refrain from brining down your ratings by simply voting 1's. By the way, you have no reason to fear a draft because, if you are unaware (as you liberals usually are), our armed forces are volunteer.
