Alaska

Going to Alaska
Where the water runs clear as glass
The home of the penguin
The walrus and the aurora borealis, oh yeah
See my baby's heart is frozen
She just don't treat me nice
I'm gonna search out Santa Claus
And ask his advice
When I get up to Alaska
Maybe someone there'll treat me right

I will build me an igloo
Live alone in my dome of blues
Buy me a low mileage dog sled
And some alligator snow shoes
Yes, yes, I got nothing to lose
I hear six months a year
You get nighttime all day
Have to practice my harp
To keep the polar bears away
Way up in Alaska
Where the whales and the Inuits play

My girl should've hugged me better
Man, I need warmth right now
But my soul sends in the shivers
'Cause it thinks that I'm running around
So I sit here crying tears
Freeze on my face
If it gets any colder
I'll be frozen in place
Way up in Alaska
You're gonna be my home

Way up there in Alaska
Where the ground is solid ice
Way up there in Alaska
All the ground is solid ice
Had to leave my woman
'Cause her heart is so cold
When I get back from the North Pole
I'll defrost her soul
Way up in Alaska
Maybe someday I'll treat me right
Treat me right now
