00:00All right, the next song that Azaria is going to do is called the Maple Leaf Forever, which

00:06some of you may know. The interesting thing about this song is they were once considering

00:12two anthems. One of them was O Canada, and the other one was the Maple Leaf Forever.

00:18But because the Maple Leaf Forever didn't really fit in with the French Canadian people,

00:24it was rejected, and O Canada was selected instead. But, tonight, Azaria is going to

00:30sing the Maple Leaf Forever.

00:32In days of yore, from London's shore,

00:37Rolled along this hero cave,

00:41And planted firmly Britannia's flame

00:45On Canada's fair domain.

00:49Here may it wave, a boast of pride,

00:54And join in all together,

00:58But this old shadow grows entwined,

01:02The Maple Leaf forever.

01:06The Maple Leaf, our welcome dear,

01:10The Maple Leaf forever.

01:14God save the King, and heaven bless

01:19The Maple Leaf forever.

01:23That great sun hides a lonely flame,

01:28Our mothers side by side,

01:32For freedom's rights and loved ones dear,

01:36Firmly stood and nobly died.

01:40Then those dear rights, which they maintain,

01:45We swear to yield them never,

01:49Our watch for evermore shall be,

01:53The Maple Leaf forever.

01:57Our fair dominion now extends,

02:02From Cape Reis to Nootka Sound,

02:06For peace may ever be our law,

02:10And friendly Esther abound.

02:15And may those ties of glory art,

02:19Which discord cannot sever,

02:23The flourish great of freedom's home,

02:27The Maple Leaf forever.

02:31The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,

02:36The Maple Leaf forever.

02:40God save the King, and heaven bless

02:44The Maple Leaf forever.

02:48On merry England's far-famed land,

02:53Bade thy Hammonds sweetly smile,

02:57God bless old Scotland evermore,

03:01And Hammonds evermore thou.

03:05Then swell the song, both loud and long,

03:09The rocks and forests forever,

03:13God save the King, and heaven bless

03:17The Maple Leaf forever.

03:21The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,

03:26The Maple Leaf forever.

03:30God save the King, and heaven bless

03:34The Maple Leaf forever.
