1
I've been up to Tuktoyaktuk and I've even even been to Arctic Bay
2
And I've been to Fort McPherson where it's wonderful, they say
3
I've seen Old Crow, and I've seen Sachs Harbour, and I know what I'm a-talkin' about
4
In all my travelin' around there's just a-one place I've found that a-really, really knocks me out
5
You know I'm talkin' 'bout Aklavik (Aklavik)
6
Hey, let me tell you that's a-one little swingin' town
7
Howlin' dogs and boarded-up buildings
8
The place really turns me on
9
The government says you'd better move out fast, 'cause the river's gonna wash it away
10
That was fifteen years ago, and I want you know
11
They're high and dry and doin' fine today.
12
They say that right here in Yellowknife there's gold and a-minerals rare
13
And down in old Hay River, there's a highway goin' there
14
And up on the coast, you know I heard on my post, they get billion barrels a day
15
But if you're lookin' to find a place to relieve your mind, man, there's only one place to stay
16
You know I'm talkin' 'bout Aklavik (Aklavik)
17
'Cause that's where the action is, if you know what I mean
18
Catch yourself a ride on a Northward sched
19
And you can really make a scene
20
Well, our roads are often muddy,
21
And our houses aren't so great,
22
But sun of a gun, they know how to have fun
23
And they're gonna do alright by me
24
I've heard a rumour gonin' round, now I'm a-gonin' tell it to you
25
Don't you tell nobody, 'cause I don't even know if it's true
26
The government people are startin' to worry the future's sure lookin' black
27
I said Inuvik is sinkin' into Boot Lake, now they're gonna have to move us back
28
I said Inuvik is sinkin' into Boot Lake, now they're gonna have to move us back
