This song is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the everyday Canadian — the kind of person who’s had their tongue frozen to metal more times than they’ll admit, keeps Canadian Tire money in the junk drawer “just in case,” and can spell Saskatchewan without thinking. It celebrates the quirks we grow up with: Timbits runs, plaid flannel as formal wear, using the trunk as a freezer, and instantly spotting fake TV snow. It’s all wrapped in a warm, nostalgic nod to icons like Mr. Dressup, the Mounties, and those legendary mosquitoes that could probably file a flight plan.

Underneath the humor, there’s a genuine affection for the charm of northern living — the blizzards, the pike fishing, the pop-not-soda arguments, and that uniquely polite Canadian “eh.” It’s a playful anthem for anyone who knows that winter shapes you, plaid is a lifestyle, and a 24-pack might as well be part of the food pyramid. A love letter to Canucks everywhere… with a wink.

Lyrics:

Had his tongue frozen to something more than twice
Timbits™, double-doubles, Tim Horton’s™, extra ice
He wears his toque to church on Sunday
Twenty-five degrees is warm enough anyway

He’s trick-or-treated in a blizzard
Saves his Canadian Tire™ money
Knows how to spell Saskatchewan
Every Canuck knows that Mr. Dressup kicks Mr. Roger’s ass any day!

Likes cruising down the highway, and not a freeway
He’d rather catch a pike than drive on one
His girlfriend’s graduation dress was plaid flannel
And no our Mounties don’t always look like that

He’s trick-or-treated in a blizzard
Saves his Canadian Tire™ money
He knows how to spell Saskatchewan
Every Canuck knows that Mr. Dressup kicks Mr. Roger’s ass any day!

(It’s a pop, not a soda), a mickey and a 24
(Substitute American beer) for water when you’re cooking
(We can tell the difference of) fake snow on TV
‘Eh’ is politer than ‘huh’ anyways!

He’s used his trunk as a freezer
Knows kokanee goes with poutine
Ya, our mosquitoes need landing lights
And we don’t give a damn that ‘Zed’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘C’

We’re trick-or-treatin’ in a blizzard
Saving Canadian Tire™ money
We know how to spell Saskatchewan
Every Canuck knows that Mr. Dressup kicks Mr. Roger’s ass any day!
Any day
Oo oo ka koo koo ooh koo koo
