Canadian Capers
Words by Earl Burtnett and Music by Gus Chandler, Bert White and Henry Cohen
Verse: Away up north amid the ice and all the snow,
Away up in the homeland of the Eskimo,
They've got a dance that's all their own they do it on the ice,
In shimmie paradise, they shimmie oh so nice.
The northern breezes make the maidens shiver so,
The way they shake just melts away all the snow.
You read in all the papers, about Canadian Capers,
Thro' the storm that's just how they keep warm.
Chorus: On zero days each maiden sways,
Right in the arms of her own lovin' Eskimo,
Most ev'ry night when all the northern lights are low,
She toddles round with her own northern Romeo.
In all the snow while cold winds blow,
Each little Flo and little Joe
Just watch them go, swing to and fro
Oh - (Tick - le - toe)
Now I've been told the weather's cold
It's always wintertime up where the North pole lies,
But they cut up Candian Capers if they're wise,
And then they watch the temperature begin to rise.
Spoken: (Going up) (showing up) (blowing up) (going up)
They always do Candian Capers if the weather's cold enough
(hey hey) Hot Stuff
