Often on the weekend I'll jump in my car
Iâ??ll not fill up the tank although Iâ??m going far
And if somebody asks me: if Iâ??m going to a bar?
Iâ??ll say Iâ??m shopping â??cross the border in the USA

I do not go down there to buy my groceries
I respect our farmers and our factories
I donâ??t believe that local means itâ??s poor in quality
Itâ??s just our goddamn prices are too high

If he stays away for just two days
Iâ??ll get one hundred dollars duty free
Though it adds two more, well I claim it fore
I donâ??t declare the products if theyâ??re in my trunk
He wonâ??t declare the products if theyâ??re in his trunk

Although it is Canada that I call home
I donâ??t cheer for the Yankees when Iâ??m in the dome
I didnâ??t swell with pride during the Desert Storm
Itâ??s just that I donâ??t want to pay the tax
Itâ??s just that heâ??s too cheap to pay the tax

Yes itâ??s just like this, heâ??s a loyalist
Iâ??ll only shop at malls that fly our flag
And heâ??ll tell Bob Rae that he just wonâ??t pay
Unless I need my unemployment benefits
Get a job, Get a job

Now everybodyâ??s doing the same thing as me
Theyâ??re doing what they can to beat the GST
Theyâ??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 itâ??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
