She grew up watching hockey
With her daddy on Saturday nights
He taught her how to tie her skates
Her brothers taught her how to fight
She can wear high heels or flannel
She can look sexy in a toque
She likes snow storms and Gordon Lightfoot
And if you’re lucky she’ll love you
Canadian girls, Canadian girls
Irresistible, lovable, trouble though sometimes – girls
We could travel the world
From New York to Paris, France
But we’re always gonna come back Canadian girls
My baby she likes to snowboard
And spend her summers out on a boat
Thinks the perfect night out is a cabin
Smell of coffee on an old wood-stove
She won’t admit, but she watched Degrassi
She’s proud and sometimes quiet
A true north national treasure.
She’d give her life for the red and white
Well us boys we like our fishin’
Our Hockey and Ron McLean
We like Moosehead beer and whitetail deer
Stomping Tom and the UFC
And we like the foreign ladies
Their accents are really nice
But there ain’t nothin like our northern girls
To keep us warm at night
