Story behind the song
In this parody of a late 19th Century Canadian folk song sometimes attributed to Robert Service, George creates a new, more lush chorus.
Lyrics
1
There’s a husky, dusky maiden in the Arctic
In her igaloo she’s waiting there in vain
I guess I’ll put my mukluks on and ask her
If she’ll wed me when the iceworms nest again
Chorus:
In the land of the pale blue snow
Where it’s ninety-nine below
And the polar bears are roaming o’er the plain
In the shadow of the pole
I will clasp her to my soul
We’ll be happy when the iceworms nest again
2
The wedding feast will be seal oil and blubber
In our kayaks we will roam the boundless main
The walruses will turn their necks to rubber
We’ll be happy when the iceworms nest again
Chorus
3
And when the blooming icebergs bound around us
She’ll present me with a bouncing baby boy
The polar bears will dance a ring around us
And the walruses will click their teeth with joy
Chorus
