lyrics

I'm the coolest kid at my junior high
Nerdy and obese and I'm awkward and shy
The other kids tell me that I'm dying alone
And I won't be found for weeks, there'll be no calls on my phone
They tell me no one'll ever love me and I say

No way! I've got a Canadian girlfriend!
No way! I've got a Canadian girlfriend!
No way! She lives in Canada
And you can't meet her

Everybody's talking 'bout their dates to the prom
The boys are talking up the girls with makeup on
The other kids tell me that I'm bringing a doll
A silicon or mylar belle of the ball
They tell me one one'll ever have me and I say

No way! I've got a Canadian girlfriend!
No way! I've got a Canadian girlfriend!
No way! She lives in Canada
And you can't meet her

Guess what? I became a rock star
Not even the sk8er bois can touch me
Guess what? I became a rock star
They tell me that they really love me and I say

No way! I've got a Canadian girlfriend!
No way! I've got a Canadian girlfriend!
No way! She lives in Canada
And you can't meet her
