Lyrics:
A long, long time ago
In the Great White North, you know
Lived the Mounties, so brave and true
But now they're just a tourist crew
With badges shinin', but honor faded fast
Their legendary pride, won't forever last
They're just a symbol, of a bygone day
When Canada was strong, in a major way
They were singing bye-bye, to Tim Hortons pie
Them good old boys, were drinkin' double-doubles and sighin'
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
Now, for 16 decades we've been on our own
And maple syrup's become a distant moan
The beavers all cried, when the loonies went dry
And the toques all hung their heads and wondered why
We used to be proud, of our two-four packs
But now they're just a memory, and a faded map
We still got our politeness, but it's gettin' old
And our apologetic ways, are startin' to grow cold
They were singing bye-bye, to Tim Hortons pie
Them good old boys, were drinkin' double-doubles and sighin'
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
We were singin' "O Canada", but it didn't last
Now we're just a bunch of apologizin' folks at last
We still got our hockey, but the rest is all a mess
Oh, Canada, what have you done, eh?
They were singing bye-bye, to Tim Hortons pie
Them good old boys, were drinkin' double-doubles and sighin'
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
Now, the polar bears are gettin' quite thin
And the Moose are all wearin' "I'M WITH STUPID" pins
The Rockies are crumblin', and the prairies are grey
And we're all just tryin' to find our way
Through the True North Strong and Free
But it's hard to find, when you're lost in history
We're searchin' for our identity
But it's like tryin' to find, a Tim Hortons in Tennessee
They were singing bye-bye, to Tim Hortons pie
Them good old boys, were drinkin' double-doubles and sighin'
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
This'll be the day that the poutine dies
