The Mayor of Saskatchewan

My third cousin in Houston writes me twice a year

To ask me if it's cold out still and if we all still drink warm beer

I told him that this week's summer and we'd love to have him here,

If he came for a visit and a stay

He thinks I'm the Mayor of Saskatchewan

I ain't got heart to tell him, that I ain't the actual one

It's not a town or city, it's a country on it's own

With people just like Texas who are proud to call it home

He wonders if there's polar bears, walkin' down the street

I let him down real gentle, and said (hardly any now) two or three

If he did come for a visit, would he get to meet a queen

I told him that I'll see what I can do

My cuz thinks I'm the Mayor of Saskatchewan

I ain't got heart to tell him, that I ain't the actual one

It's not a town or city, it's a country on it's own

With people just like Texas who are proud to call it home

So I took a trip to Texas, no one in Sask knew I was gone

But everyone in Texas, was just thrilled I came along

They all lined up to shake my hand, and for pictures by the throng

To tell anyone who'd listen, they'd met the Mayor of Saskatchewan

The Lone Star state thinks I'm the Mayor of Saskatchewan

I ain't got the heart to tell them, that I ain't the actual one

It's not a town or city, it's a country on it's own

With people just like Texas who are proud to call it home

With people just like Texas who are proud to call it home

With people just like Texas who are proud to call it home
