Canada 150+ Song - Mr. Weir

Описание: This is what was said introducing the songwriting project: I said to the class, "Canada is 150 years old". One child raised his hand and said, "That doesn't sound right. There's gotta be more. What about the First Nations? What about the Dinosaurs?" Another precocious 8 year old said, "Well, politically..."


We are 8 year old students at Queen Mary Elementary School in Vancouver. Led by Greg Weir, with a guitar, we like to make up new songs that relate to our school life and to sing together as often as possible.

Canada 150 written by Mr. Weir and Mr. Reimer with the students of Wendy Vanderwoerd and Jodi Mackay at Queen Mary Elementary School, Vancouver, Canada

Lyrics:

Canada is 150 years old

150?
That doesn't sound right.
It's gotta be more.
What about the First Nations ?
What about the dinosaurs ?

Well.....politically.....

One Hundred and Fifty
One Hundred and Fifty
One Hundred and Fifty
One Hundred and Fifty

Canada Hundred and Fifty
Canada Hundred and Fifty
Canada Hundred and Fifty
Canada O Canada

Canada From sea to sea
Canada Stands on guard for thee
Canada Glorious and free
Canada We can be what we wanna be


Canada Hundred and Fifty
Canada Hundred and Fifty
Canada Hundred and Fifty
Canada O Canada


Canada We love to go explore
Canada Walk the rocky shore
Canada Skating in the
great outdoors
We shoot................ We score!

(bridge)
Ever since, the dawn of time,
First Nations loved this land.
Happy birthday Canada
Together strong we stand!


(rap)
A nation, connected, with railroad ties
Immigration and great allies
All protected by a Charter of Rights
Still, we’re known to apologize.


O Canada. Hundred and fifty (pardon moi)
Canada. Hundred and fifty (chez toi)
Canada. Hundred and fifty.
Canada O Canada

Canada. Hundred and fifty
Canada. Hundred and fifty

Together we're getting better every year!
Together we're getting better every year!
