	Story Behind the Song The inspiration for this song was writer's block. After a couple "dry" months, I figured I should just try to write the most ridiculous song I could in order to "free up the machine" again. So I looked at a map, and I looked at Canada, and I looked at Halifax, and the phrase "My phone don't work but you can Halifax me sometime" came to me. Seemed ridiculous enough to base a song on nothing other than mentioning the provinces of Canada, and that's just what I did. Lyrics I. I just sat down, to Calga-read your letter When the first tear fell I Van-couvered up my eyes You got me tied up in a big old Windsor-Knot dear But I cannot say, it comes as a surprise II.

With out you babe, Im just like a fish Otta-water Crawling on the banks of lake superior Im down on my knees like a praying Manitoba But I know youve heard this Sas-ka-tune before to Chorus IV. Quebec your bottom dollar that I love you Ill follow you from sea to shining sea Ill be the lone ranger you can be my toronto But it doesnt seem that Mont-real to me to Chorus
