Lyrics
THOSE ALASKAN MEN
With no more lovers to share fine wine,
I flipped through a magazine to pass the time.
A picture in an ad caught my eye -
Men on a mountain against a bright blue sky.
It said, ?Alaskan air is crisp and clean!
Prettiest place you?ve ever seen!?
I read where the men wait everyday
for a beautiful lady to come their way!
Oh my - Those Alaskan men!
Oh yeah - Those Alaskan men!
Brave and bold - Young and old
Rich and poor - That and more!
Gotta see - those Alaskan men!
Oh Yeah! Those Alaskan men!
Gotta be one for me!
Mmm-Mmm - Those Alaskan men!
My mind was reeling at what I saw-
a bare-chested hunk was splittin? some logs!
Sat up straight when I saw the next lines:
?Picks and axes found gold in those mines!
But you can?t squeeze lovin? out of that gold!
They?d rather have a woman to hold!?
Packin? my bags - I?ll be gone by ten,
?cause I want one of them - Alaskan men!
Oh my - Those Alaskan men!
Oh yeah - Those Alaskan men!
Brave and bold - Young and old
Rich and poor - That and more!
Gotta see - those Alaskan men!
Oh Yeah! Those Alaskan men!
Gotta be one for me!
Mmm-Mmm - Those Alaskan men!
Yeah - I want to be there instead ?a here,
so my rush is on for the wild frontier!
Oh my - Those Alaskan men!
Oh yeah - Those Alaskan men!
Brave and bold - Young and old
Rich and poor - That and more!
Gotta see - those Alaskan men!
Oh Yeah! Those Alaskan men!
Gotta be one for me!
Mmm-Mmm - Those Alaskan men!
Gotta be one for me!
Mmm-Mmm - Those Alaskan men!
