I was out in my backyard, looking for something to do
Turned around and I saw the woodpile, right next to my canoe
It was bright, and bold, and nice, and the sun beamed off the name 'Maurice', and as long as I was home for dinner
I decided to take my canoe down to the river

I love my canoe (I love my)
I love my canoe (canoe)
I love my canoe (I love my)
I love my canoe

Well, the water was calm and I looked for ducks and geese
The day was warm, pushed along by a Summer breeze
There were people fishing, and having fun
People fed the ducks, kids playing in the sun
Yeah well, they looked at me like I was a dork, but I paddled along anyway
Saw the cool kids out in their speedboats,
But I'd stay away from them if I wanted to stay afloat

I love my canoe (I love my)
I love my canoe (canoe)
I love my canoe (I love my)
I love my canoe

Then I saw her, she passed me up on her water-skis
And those waves were so big, I thought that they would capsize me
She did a jump, and then she twirled in the air
The boat pulled her fast, and the wind blew her hair
She was one of those cool girls, who had a lot of shoes
And she would never go for me, sitting in this canoe
So I, paddled on, and I felt like a geek
Those guys she liked had muscles, and I was fairly weak
But that's okay, though, I love my canoe, even though, I cannot love you!

I love my canoe (I love my)
I love my canoe (canoe)
I love my canoe (I love my)
I love my canoe
Canoe, canoe, canoe, I love you!
Canoe, canoe, canoe, I love you!
Canoe, canoe, canoe, I love you!
