lyrics

Let's disembark to the arctic
Grab your scarfs and ice picks
It's gonna be a wonderfully cold time
On a quest for vegetation
Mosses, shrubs, and lichens
But a polar bear or two I'd rather not find

There’s so much magic in the arctic
What an interesting design
Wolverines and caribou
Would rather live there than in a zoo
For a home it’s a one of a kind!

Don't be afraid of our adventure
I promise that we'll get there
Dodging icebergs and glaciers is just fine
So when we finally arrive
Our brains will help us survive
And if we can't start our car at least we're not in Antarctica!

There’s so much magic in the arctic
What an interesting design
Wolverines and caribou
Would rather live there than in a zoo
For a home it’s a one of a kind!

Oh what joy and jubilation
We are safely at the station
It isn't exactly what I had in my mind
With all these clothes it's getting toasty
Please excuse me if I boastfully
Admit that the Arctic's kind of nice in the middle of July

There’s so much magic in the arctic
What an interesting design
Wolverines and caribou
Would rather live there than in a zoo
For a home it’s a one of a kind!
For a home it’s a one of a kind!
For home it's a one of a beautiful one of a kind!
