Carry On
J.R. Richards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is never in a panic
He's got the tools that he needs
And he rolls up his sleeves and gets at it
He gets the motor running he gets that baby humming
And on Friday night he be cruising with his Darling beside him
Carry on, carry on Canada
Everything that we say always ends with an Eh
Carry on, carry on Canada
Alberta oil, they dig in the soil
Gives us the fire that we need keep this country running free
I say thank you, thank you
Bay St Toronto - got all the head honchos
Up at the crack of dawn so the Looney and the Two-oney stays strong
Carry on
Carry on, carry on Canada
Everything that we say always ends with an Eh
And we like it, and we like it
Carry on, carry on Canada
We got Hockey Teams, cut off jeans and Mac's that fit just right
We got a Military that never wearies from fighting for our rights
Our First Responders, have a place Up Yonder
But they know that Heaven can wait
Cause they gotta job to do in your Province - and don't we all
We're gonna make it better, make our Country last forever
Red White and Red
And as strong as a Maple in the center
Everybody
Carry on, carry on Canada
Everything that we say always ends with an Eh
And we like it, and we like it
Carry on, carry on Canada
Coo Loo Coo Coo
