CANADA FOR CANUCKS.
I've heard many people talking
About Canada's immigration,
And what different men are doing.
To help build up our nation,
They bring men from every country
And then have the nerve to say
That with study,work, encourage-
ment,
They'll be good Canucks some day.
Now our good friends to the south
of us
Are a progressive, thrifty lot: •
But their country is often spoken of
As the human'melting pot.
But I wouldn't trade an acre
Of our land of which we sing,
To go and live among them
As their President or King.
They have men from every country.
They have omen of every creed.
They have church hien, also sinners;
They have men of every breed,
They have a hundred million people,
Some are yellow, black or tan.
That is why I say, Canadians,
On the foreigner put a ban.
You've heard that old, old saying,
But now you'll hear it again,
You can't take blood from out a stone
Nor make Canucks of foreign men.
I know, cause I've lived among them.
Some have heads as thick as a log,
And the more I see of some
foreigners,
The more I like my dog.
So I want yon Canadians to wake up,
Rub the sleep from out your eyes.
Can't you see in yonder Heavens
The foreign menace rise.
And so here is my advice
Though it cost us a million bucks,
We want this for our slogan,
Keep Canada for Canucks,
