Lyrics for Canadian Idiot as interpreted by snotface2

Canadian Idiot Lyrics
Don't want to be a Canadian idiot

Dont want to be some beer swillin' hockey nut
and do I look like some frost bitten hosehead
I never learned my alphabet from A to zed

They all live on donuts and moose meat
and they leave the house without packin' heat
never even bring their guns to the mall
and you know what else is too funny
their stupid monopoly money
can't take 'em seriously at all

Well maple syrup and snow's what they export
they treat curling just like it's a real sport
they think their silly accent is so cute
can't understand a thing they're talking aboot

sure they got their national health care
cheaper meds for prime rates and clean air
then again well they got celine dion
eat their weight in kraft macaroni
and dream of driving a zamboni
all over saskatchewan

Don't want to be a Canadian idiot

We'll figure out their temperature in Celcius
see the map they're hovering right over us
tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous

always hear the same kind of story
break your nose and they'll just say sorry
tell me what kind of freaks are that polite
It's gotta mean they're all up to something
so quick before they see it coming
time for a pre-emptive strike

Aside from that one phrase I can't get, here's a more complete version of the lyrics, plus grammar/spelling fixes:

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don't wanna be some beer swilling hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hose head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Z

They all live in donuts and moose beaks
And they leave the house without packing heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And ya know what else is too funny?
Their stupid monopoly money
Can't take 'em seriously at all

Well maple syrup and snow's what they export
They treat curling just like it's a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can't understand a thing they’re talking aboot

Sure they get their national healthcare
Cheaper meds, ??, and clear air
Then again, well they got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of driving a zamboni
All over Saskatchewan

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
We'll figure out the temperature in Celsius
See the map? They're hoverin' right over us
Tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous

Always hear the same kinda story
Break your nose and they'll just say "Sorry"
Tell me, what kinda freaks are that polite?
It's gotta mean they're all up to something
So quick, before they see it coming
Time for a preemptive strike

Bah! "clean air" not "clear air." What a stupid typo on my part.

I think the fourth line in the first stanza is "I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed." This makes sense because "head" and "zed" rhyme and the letter Z is pronounced "zed" in English-speaking countries other than the U.S.

Haha...I just realized that my earlier post wasn't necessary (Z would be pronounced "zed"), but maybe it will clarify the lyrics for some people.

Just to state the obvious, it's a parody of American Idiot. The song lyrics are Canadian Stereotypes that some Americans think about Canada.

"tell me what kind of freaks are that polite"

Haha! I love Weird Al, and do we really have an accent? I've never said 'aboot' in my life... I really love his take on American Idiot. Brilliant!

Is there a version of this song with the line "Don't want a nation that thinks ham is bacon" in it? Cause two of my friends said that was their favorite line in the song and it's definitely not in the version both the person submitting the lyrics and I have

It's funny cause it's taking the piss out of Canadians for not being Americans.
And I live in Australia so they're all the same to me :D

The song is actually making fun of Americans more than it is Canadians.
