Canada in My Pocket
[Chorus]
I've got DCanada in my Bmpocket – a Glittle bit of histoDry
A Dpenny, and a nickel, and a Bmquarter, and a dime mean a Glot to you and Ame
It's Gmore than pocket Dmoney - they're the Gsymbols of our Aland
They're Dpictures of imBmportant things for Gwhich this Acountry Dstands
[Verse 1]
The Dmaple leaf, the Bmmaple leaf - is a Gbeautiful sight to Dsee!
It Dwaves 'hello' to uBms below from the bGranch of a maple tAree
And with Gevery year that Dpasses it Ggrows like you and Ame
So Dshould we all grow Bmstraight and tall like the Glovely Amaple Dtree
[Chorus]
I've got DCanada in my Bmpocket – a Glittle bit of histoDry
A Dpenny, and a nickel, and a Bmquarter, and a dime mean a Glot to you and Ame
It's Gmore than pocket Dmoney - they're the Gsymbols of our Aland
They're Dpictures of imBmportant things for Gwhich this Acountry Dstands
[Verse 2]
The Dbeaver, oh the Bmbeaver - is a Gbeautiful sight to Dsee
DHe's a happy, furry Bmanimal, like a Gteddy bear with Ateeth
He's Gnever ever Dlazy; he Gworks all night and Aday
Building Dhouses for his Bmfamily, he's Ggot no Atime to Dplay
[Chorus]
I've got DCanada in my Bmpocket – a Glittle bit of histoDry
A Dpenny, and a nickel, and a Bmquarter, and a dime mean a Glot to you and Ame
It's Gmore than pocket Dmoney - they're the Gsymbols of our Aland
They're Dpictures of imBmportant things for Gwhich this Acountry Dstands
[Verse 3]
The Dschooner, oh the Bmschooner - is a Gbeautiful sight to Dsee!
DIt's a great big wooden Bmsailing ship that can Gsail across the Asea
It Gbrings to other Dcountries the Gthings their people Aneed
And Dbrings back things like Bmchocolate bars and Gbooks for Aus to Dread
[Chorus]
I've got DCanada in my Bmpocket – a Glittle bit of histoDry
A Dpenny, and a nickel, and a Bmquarter, and a dime mean a Glot to you and Ame
It's Gmore than pocket Dmoney - they're the Gsymbols of our Aland
They're Dpictures of imBmportant things for Gwhich this Acountry Dstands
[Verse 4]
The Dcaribou, the Bmcaribou - is a Gbeautiful sight to Dsee!
DHe's a really big strong Bmanimal, I'm Gsure you'll all aAgree
He Glooks like Santa's Dreindeer and he Gloves it when the wind blows Acold
So he Dlives up north with the Bmpolar bears ‘cause he Glikes the Aice and Dsnow
[Chorus]
I've got DCanada in my Bmpocket – a Glittle bit of histoDry
A Dpenny, and a nickel, and a Bmquarter, and a dime mean a Glot to you and Ame
It's Gmore than pocket Dmoney - they're the Gsymbols of our Aland
They're Dpictures of imBmportant things for Gwhich this Acountry Dstands
[Verse 5]
The Dcaribou, the Bmcaribou - is a Gbeautiful sight to Dsee!
DHe's a really big strong Bmanimal, I'm Gsure you'll all aAgree
He Glooks like Santa's Dreindeer and he Gloves it when the wind blows Acold
So he Dlives up north with the Bmpolar bears ‘cause he Glikes the Aice and Dsnow
