Goin' to Alaska where the water runs like glass
The home of the penguin, the walrus and Aurora Borealas, oh yes
See my baby's heart is frozen she just don't treat me nice
I'm gonna search out Santa Clause 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 dogsled and some alligator snow shoes
I hear six months a year you get night time all day
I had to practice my harp to keep the polar bears away
Way up in Alaska where the whales and the eskimos play
If I got sun I'd be better, man I'd be warm right now, right now
But my soul's condemned to shivers 'cause she thinks I've been running around
So I sit here cryin' tears freeze to my face
If it gets any colder, I'll be frozen in place
In rock hard Alaska, you're gonna be my home
Way up to Alaska where the ground here is solid ice
Way up here in Alaska you know the ground here 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 some day I'll treat you right
