BEST OF THE BEST (Canadian Olympic Song)
written by Johnny Blue

With the best of the best we stand
And sing to the world “O Canada”
Our home and native land
We’re here to make you proud.

From the west to the eastern shores
From Great Lakes to the Great White North we come
With the spirit they brought before
We’re here, our voices loud.

Shoulder to shoulder, like brothers and sisters
The family cheers us on.
Province through province, together and with us
A family of Canadians.

With the maple leaf at our hearts
We sing strong and loud, “O Canada”
From its many and varied parts
We’re here, our flag held high.

And we say, “let the games begin”
We play for the honour of Canada
We will shine like Olympic rings
We’re here to make you proud.

From Hudson’s Bay to Mont Pellier
With one voice you will hear us say
“The game’s the thing, we’ve come to play
We’re Canadian, we’ve already won!”

Shoulder to shoulder, like brothers and sisters
The family cheers us on
Province through province, together and with us
A family of Canadians.

With the best of the best we stand
And sing to the world “O Canada”
Our home and native land
We’re here to make you proud.

From mountain peak to cobbled street
From cityscape to prairie wheat
We’ll tell whomever we may meet
“We’re Canadian, we’ve already won!”
