These songs are already in the show! Canada Rocks! © Bernie German 2006 The Canadian Rocky Mountains and Alberta’s great outdoors British Columbia’s Mighty Coast You can see an eagle soar Saskatchewan and Manitoba will take your breath away A trip out East to the Maritimes, you can feel the ocean spray In Ontario or Quebec or the Ter – ri – tor - ies, every one will agree:
We salute our Canadian athletes who work hard all their lives Up each day at six a.m., got to get in more ice time The NHL or the CHL Can be a young boys dream To be an Olympic skating star every girl wants to make the team The dirt and the sweat and toil and tears, in victory or defeat Every one will agree. Canada Rocks! With readiness and eagerness we play by the rules And every kid in Canada knows you’ve got to stay in school Every one will agree. Canada Rocks!
I Love Sports © Bernie German 2006 I’m all dressed up for my soccer game My friend is picking me up today I got my T-shirt and I got my shorts What did I hear you say? I love sports Baseball, game day, football, fair play What did I hear you say? I love sports Soccer and swimming, hockey and winning! What did I hear you say? I love sports I like kicking the ball as far as I can And playing outside whenever I want My friends and I like to play outdoors What did I hear you say? I love sports Repeat Chorus: Turn off that TV and before you know You‘ll be big and tall; watch your muscles grow How about if we meet at the tennis court?What did I hear you say? I love sports. Canada, Oh Canada © Bernie German 2006
Canada, oh Canada. Oh your prairie winds are blowing, Fly that big red maple leaf forever. The fight for freedom isn’t something new. We’re Canadians, we all pull together, Let’s tell the whole wide world what we can do! Canada, oh Canada. We will never quit trying, While our country’s tears are crying To honor those who make a place for everyone, And dream of Canada
Here are the lyrics to the songs on my first album! Maple Leaf Railroad © Mary and Bernie German I've got a ticket for the Maple Leaf Railroad for every girl and boyI've got a ticket for the Maple Leaf Railroad and the freedom we enjoy I've got a great big locomotive the box cars and the track I've got a ticket for the Maple Leaf Railroad and I'm never looking back My locomotive is so powerful; it's quite a sight to see It drives our train from coast to coast; just for you and me Every hill it has to climb; it keeps its head of steam To cross the highest mountain top or the smallest stream Long steel rails are stretching across this mighty land Helping communities reach out like outstretched holding hands They connect our entire nation they're connecting you and me Delivering information; communication is the key We have a box car full of tolerance Patience and respect So no one feels left out for once and no one feels neglect The train is coming your way and that's a natural fact So do your part to make sure that train never comes off the track Clickity-clack clickity-clack, clickity-clickity-clack Slap That Flat Tail Beaver © Bernie German He lives out in the water – not talking ‘bout the otterHe's got a big flat tail – not talking ‘bout the quail He can walk and swim and swam - he can build himself a dam He's a funny little guy all Canadians know He's a busy little guy who can build himself a home That's Right! I mean the Beaver Slap That Flat Tail Beaver Slap That Flat Tail Beaver Slap That Flat Tail Beaver Go tell all your friends He's a little engineer – much smarter than a deer He's got short brown hair – but he's smaller than a bear He never wears a scowl – not like his friend the owl He chops down trees with his long sharp teeth He stacks ‘em up high with his two front feet That's Right! I mean the Beaver When he is in danger – he never calls the ranger He is always brave - he keeps his family safe Instead of sending mail - he slaps his big flat tail He's a funny little guy all Canadians know He's a busy little guy who can build himself a home He chops down trees with his long sharp teeth He stacks ‘em up high with his two front feet That's Right! I mean the Beaver Canadian Mounties © Bernie German, Mary German When we talk about liberty and Canadian HistoryWhen we talk about liberty, we've got to talk about the Mountie Protects our Freedom to Vote and our Cultural Roots In their bright red coat and shiny black boots It's Liberty, Liberty We salute the Canadian Mounties helping keep all Canadians free Protecting Canadian Bounty from sea to shining sea They watch our Canadian wildlife; the beaver, deer and bear They protect our Canadian way – of – life o'er sea and land and air Report to work each morning with courage we admire Respond to every warning with bravery under fire As they finish work each evening they go home like you and me And share their friendship, life and joys with friends and family Everybody sing, Liberty, Liberty; everybody sing, Liberty, Liberty Ya Hoo! © 2005 Bernie German, Stu Gogarty On my first day of school out here in the WestIn my new pair of shoes I was looking my best But I couldn't fit in no matter how hard I tried I came home from school and I cried Oh, Mamma, my friends all have cowboy boots For a cowboy, your boots really show your roots They make you look tall even if you are small I need cowboy boots to give the cowboy call Ya Hoo! Ya Hoo! Ya Hoo! Ya Hoo! On my second day of school out here in the West In my baseball cap I was looking my best But I couldn't fit in no matter how hard I tried I came home from school and I cried Oh, Mamma, my friends all have cowboy hats The cowboy hat is really where it's at They make you look tall even if you are small I need a cowboy hat to give the cowboy call I need a cowboy shirt and a hat and the boots Now my friends all tell me I need a horse too When I got home from school I said, YIKES!!! MY PARENTS HAD BOUGHT ME A BRAND NEW BIKE My mamma said pretend your bike is a horse Not a real horse, but a pony of course And you will feel tall even if you're small If you believe you're a cowboy, give the cowboy call Australia Zoo © Bernie German If I ever take a trip to Australia this is what I'll doI'll visit all the animals in Australia at the Australia Zoo Boomerang, Walabu, Billabong, Kangaroo, this is what I'll do I'll visit all the animals in Australia at the Australia Zoo I would hop, hop, hop with the Kangaroos Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop I would hop, hop, hop with the Kangaroos Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop I would sneak like a snake with the crocodiles.

I'd love him very muchWe'd ride across the prairie, but we'd be home for lunch I wish I had a pony I'd feed him every day And when I have to go somewhere this is what I'd say Come here pony, come here pony Come here pony and take me for a ride Come here pony, come here pony Be my friend and wait right by my side I wish I had a pony that I could ride to school All my friends would think that we were really, really cool I'd give him snack right after school each and every day And when I had to go somewhere this is what I'd say It's Nice to Have Friends © Bernie German, Mary German It's nice when you have friends. The whole wide world is really grandYou can have a birthday party and invite everyone you know Everyone has cake and pizza Pretty soon it's time to go It takes two friends to spin the rope for the one in the middle to jump Friends will give you an extra turn and they won't make you take an out It's nice when you have friends the whole wide world is really grand How do you describe a friend? What word comes to mind? Loyal, patient, friendly, chummy You love when they treat you kind - ley Friends are a must, friends you can rely on Friends you can trust, friends you can count on Friends are a must, friends you can rely on Friends are friends are friends It's nice when you have friends. The whole wide world is really grand It's nice when you have friends. Alberta to Montana © Bernie German From Alberta to Montana, I wear a bandana,My spurs are silver, my horse is a gray And I've been a roaming all the way from Wyoming I sure need a rest now from riding all day. It's horses and cattle and a trusty old saddle, With a blanket, a canteen and a good roping' arm. Wherever there's ranches, I'm taking' my chances, From sunrise to sunset since the day I was born The prairies are dusty, my pony is trusty He helps me to settle my cattle each night Big dinners and after, campfires and laughter We start the day's travel again at first light Canadian Cowhand © Bernie German I'm an old cowhand, on a Canadian ranch
I Don't Want to Wash Dishes © 2005 Bernie German Grandma's coming over for a visit you seeThe kitchen is a mess and Momma's looking for me I've been working hard at school all day, All I want to do is go out to play If she catches me this is what I'll say: I Don't Want to Wash Dishes I Don't Want to Wash Dishes I Don't Want to Wash Dishes I Don't Want to Wash Dishes I Don't Want to Wash Dishes I Don't Want to Wash Dishes Momma finally found me, I should have known better She said, “How about we do the dishes together” We laughed while we washed those cups and plates We got all those dishes put away I couldn't believe it when I heard my momma say: I Just Love To Eat Peas © 2005 Bernie German I just love to eat peas but they roll around on my plateI just love to eat peas but they roll around on my plate I just love to eat peas. I just love to eat peas But they roll, yeah they roll, yeah they roll around on my plate I could make a wall around my peas with mashed potatoes And a door that swings closed with sliced tomatoes Wouldn't that be great? I could just close the gate And I'd keep those peas from rolling around on my plate I could mash up all my peas with a spoon When peas are flat like that, they can't move I got to remember that peas are round and peas like to roll Maybe next time I'll eat them out of a bowl My Shoes Are Too Small © Bernie German I can't figure out why my shoes are too small Last year they fit me just fineI can't figure out why my shoes are too small Sometimes I wonder if they're mine Maybe I should measure them That's what I've been thinking BOY! I sure do treasure them I hope that they're not shrinking Maybe I lost them at soccer That's what my friend Dell says They could be in my friend's locker And I could have somebody else's Maybe mom is all-knowing She's got the answer, she figures She says that since I've been growing It's just that my feet are getting bigger
