Dan Bern wrote a song based on his misinterpretation of Tom Waits' song: "16 Shells From a Thirty Ought Six":

Well in the distance you could almost see the red dust of Oklahoma
rise on the horizon like a thin puff of smoke
And as you got a little closer you could tell something was moving
And now and then catch the sun's glint off a spoke
Later you could make out a thin figure in a hat
Pushing a wheel chair, he fumed as he spat
I ain't stopping till we reach Manitoba you rat

I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
Canada

The border of Missouri didn't slow him up
He pushed on like a fury with all his might
The 18 wheelers that rolled on by
Would just should shake their heads and marvel at the sight
Of one man trudging with undying zeal
Pushing another man encased in steel
Yelling in his ear, ain't even stopping for a meal

I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
Canada

You probably thought you'd pull a fast one on me
Guess you didn't realize just with whom you were toying
The joke kind of turned though, didn't it bub,
He hissed as they rolled through suburban Des Moines
They came to a river and soon did float a-
Cross on a barge into Minnesota
Wheat fields turned into South Dakota

I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
Canada

Wyoming farmers swear to this day
You can sometimes see wheel tracks in the snow
Truck stop waitresses tell of how
They once served him a cream cheese omelet to go
He rides the Grand Canyon outer rim
Iroquois Indians pray to him
When you cross his path just say to him

I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
I'm gonna wheel you to Canada
Canada

The misinterpreted line from Tom Waits: "Gonna whittle you inta kindlin'"
