Often on the weekend I'll jump in my car
I'll not fill up the tank although I'm going far
And if somebody asks me: if I'm going to a bar?
I'll say I'm shopping 'cross the border in the U.S.A.
I do not go down there to buy my groceries
I respect our farmers and our factories
I don't believe that local means it's poor in quality
It's just our goddamn prices are too high
If he stays away for just two days
I'll get one hundred dollars duty free
Though it adds two more, well I claim it fore
I don't declare the products if they're in my trunk
He won't declare the products if they're in his trunk
Although it is Canada that I call home
I don't cheer for the Yankees when I'm in the dome
I didn't swell with pride during the Desert Storm
It's just that I don't want to pay the tax
It's just that he's too cheap to pay the tax
Yes it's just like this, he's a loyalist
I'll only shop at malls that fly our flag
And he'll tell Bob Rae that he just won't pay
Unless I need my unemployment benefits
Get a job, Get a job, Get a job
Now everybody's doing the same thing as me
They're doing what they can to beat the GST
They're lining up for miles at the duty free
So I bought a JC Penney store in Buffalo
So everybody come on down to Buffalo
Cause if you stay away for just two days
You get one hundred dollars duty free
Though it not that hard it'll still go far
And it ends up in the pockets of a country man
And it ends up in the pockets of a country man
Canada
