CANADA DAY!
(I do not own Hetalia or this song!)
Canada yawned as he opened his laptop. While it was Canada Day; and by extension his birthday, he had to make sure there was now work related emails. Instead all he found was a flamboyant email from Prussia, an eCard from his brother along with the promise to visit later with a *huge ass* pancake shaped maple cake, and a video mpg; from his nieces and nephews.
Nevada appeared on screen first with a cheeky grin. "Hey Uncle Mattie! Here's a special b0day gift for ya! HIT IT!"
The camera panned out to show New York on guitar, Alabama on piano and California on drums with Louisiana on trumpet.
"Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We've got the world monopoly on trees
And our country's bordered by three different seas"
Nevada sang. Oklahoma took over.
"Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we've got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please"
The camera changed to a gloating barge with several of the other states and some of the territories. All the teens/children began to sing.
"Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian"
The camera changed back to Arkansas and Illinois took their microphones and began to sing.
"Et si ce n'était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L'anglais et le français
Ooh la la"
North Carolina and South Dakota took over.
"Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please."
Florida and Alaska took over.
"And when freshwater is in high demand
We've got the world's largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it's even better if you can be…"
All…
"So you're thinking to yourself,
"How do I live in this beautiful country?"
Well we've got some steps for you to follow…
STEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You're ready, there is no more!
We got beavers, cariboo and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we're sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron…
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The Greek chilled out with Socrates
Can't build a wall like the Chinese
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
In Kenya they have safaris
We've missed lots of other countries
But I know that you wanna be Canadian~!"
"YEAH!" New York screamed as he smashed his guitar.
"HAPPY CANADA DAY!" the fifty states, and territories screamed before the camera panned to a photo of the Canadian flag.
On the other side of the camera Canada wiped away a tear. His nieces and nephews were so sweet.
….
Even if they could be hellions at times.
A late Canada Day gift!
Sorry forgetting Mattie!
