Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Going to Alaska, where the water runs clear as a glass
The home of the penguin, the walrus
And Aurora Borealis, oh yes
See, my baby's heart is frozen, she just don't treat me nice
I'ma search out Santa Claus and ask his advice
When I get up to Alaska, maybe someone there'll treat me right
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
My girl shoulda loved me better, man, I'd be warm right now, right now
But my soul condemned to shivers 'cause she thinks I'm runnin' around
I sit here cryin', tears freeze on my face
If it gets any colder, I'll be frozen in place
In rock hard Alaska, you're gonna be my home
[Verse 4]
Up there to Alaska, where the ground is solid ice
Way up there in Alaska, know that ground is solid ice
Gotta 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
