Greenland

No more waiting for you ice to melt
In the high desert heat of Texas
I’ve got an imitation sealskin coat
And a one-way ticket to Greenland
Greenland

I’m going to live on the world’s largest island
Where the icecap is seven kilometers thick
You’re twice as cold as Greenland

While you’re naysaying I’ll be fishing
With an optimist discussing
Home Rule Government, industry
Like me, they’re after progress
In Greenland

Who needs a summer when you’ve got autonomy
From Denmark and ninety-eight percent literacy?
You’re twice as cold as Greenland

If you’re ever in the neighborhood
Of Disko Bay and searching
You’ll find me on a hunting spree
With a certain celestial body
In Greenland

Give me a lover who would rather build a fire
Than muddle along talking psychology
You’re twice as cold as Greenland
