Lyrics
Well, I’ve been up to Tuktoyuktuk and I’ve even been to Arctic Red,
And I’ve been down to Fort McPherson where it’s wonderful, it’s said,
And I’ve seen Old Crow and I’ve seen Sachs Harbor and I know what I’m talking about.
In my trav’lin’ around there’s just one place I’ve found that really, really knocks me out,
And I’m talkin’ about Aklavik.
Hey, let me tell you, that’s one little swingin’ town.
Howling dogs and boarded up buildings, the place really turns me on.
Well, the government said, “You gotta move out fast because the river’s gonna wash you away.”
That was fifteen years ago and I want you to know they’re high and dry and doing fine today.
Well, I’ve heard that over in Yellow Knife there’s gold and min’rals rare,
And down in old Hay River you know they got a highway going there,
And up on the coast, well I’ve heard them all boast they got a billion barrels a day.
But if you’re looking to find a little place to unwind,
Man, there’s only one place to stay,
And I’m talkin’ ‘bout Aklavik,
‘Cause that’s where the action is if you know what I mean.
Catch yourself a ride on the Northward Sched and you can really make the scene.
Our roads are often muddy and our houses aren’t so new.
But son-of-a-gun, they sure know how to have fun,
They’re gonna do all right by you.
Well, I’ve heard a rumor going ‘round and now I’m going to tell it to you.
But don’t you tell anybody ‘cause I don’t even know if it’s true.
Well, the government people are starting to worry,
They say the future sure looking black.
Inuvik is sinking into Boot Lake and now they’re gonna have to move us back.
I said Inuvik was sinking into Boot Lake,
And now they’re gonna have to move us back.
