We used to have to sing that, and "Oh Canada" every morning at school when I was little, although we had our own rendition...

This land Is my land and only my land,

I've got a shotgun and you don't got one,

So if you don't get off I'll blow your head off,

This land is mine and only mine,

    The one I learned at recess was

    This land ain't your land, this land is my land
    You better go back to Ellis Island
    If you don't get off I'll blow your head off
    This land was made for me not you
