Re: Quizbowl Song Contest

If you're Canadian, you may not want to read
this. My intent, however, is in jest.

North of
The Border (Up Canada Way)

(or how American
teams fare on Canadiana)

Apologies (and I do
mean apologies) to Frank Sinatra (South of the Border
(Down Mexico Way)

North of the border, up Canada
way,
Thats where I crashed like a dove
When Gaels above
came out to play
And now as I get thrashed, my car
will not stray
North of the border, up Canada
way.

I did see some great Qs, pass in front of my
face
But after a little while
I got ticked, clinching
last place
Who were all these people, all saying
"eh!"?
North of the border, up Canada way.

Then I
sighed as I answered "Mackenzie"
Never dreaming that
I was losing
And I lied as I answered
"Mackenzie"
Cause my Americana never came.

North of the
border, I played badly one day
Les Habitants went to
Queens, I just got cleaned,
Margaret Atwood I forgot
to say,
The scoresheets just told me that I
couldnt play
North of the border, up Canada
way.

The buzzers told me - ding ding - that I must not
stay,
North of the border, up Canada way!
Ai-ai-ai-ai
(ai-ai-ai-ai)
Ai-ai-ai-ai (ai-ai-ai-ai)
Ai-ai-ai-ai
