Becoming One - Math Before Maple Syrup Lyrics

We packed up for Canada dreams in the air
Snowball fights skating-winter flair
But there's a buzzkill lurking a cruel twist of fate
Math before maple syrup? Come on give us a break!
We wanted to sled to skate and to play
But fractions and grammar keep getting in the way
Our books on the table the snow's calling near
Hockey sticks by the door but we're stuck right here
Camping and cliff jumps those days were a blast
But this winter fun's slipping by too fast
Math before maple syrup? This can't be right
We should be outside in the snowball fight
Essays and spelling in the cold cold air
While Canada's wonders wait out there
Oh math before maple syrup? What a buzzkill move
Homeschool in Winnipeg has lost its groove
The rink is alive with kids shooting the puck
But we're conjugating verbs? Man this really sucks
We came for the snow the fun the great white North
But all we've got is long division and a plate of remorse
The frost on the windows the world's a delight
But here we are reading Shakespeare tonight
Math before maple syrup? This can't be right
We should be outside in the snowball fight
Essays and spelling in the cold cold air
While Canada's wonders wait out there
Oh math before maple syrup? What a buzzkill move
Homeschool in Winnipeg has lost its groove
We dream of Timmy's runs and snow angels galore
But instead we're calculating a polynomial score
The moose and the mountains are just out of reach
While we sit here learning about figures of speech
Math before maple syrup? This can't be right
We should be outside in the snowball fight
Essays and spelling in the cold cold air
While Canada's wonders wait out there
Oh math before maple syrup? What a buzzkill move
Homeschool in Winnipeg has lost its groove
So here's to the snow we're not playing in
To the toques and the fun that we'd love to begin
Homeschool is cool but right now it's a flop
Math before maple syrup? Somebody make it stop!
