Oh Clark, now you've done it...  Now I'm going to have to
sing...

The Yukon Song
(originally appeared in the C&H collection, "Yukon Ho!")

My Tiger friend has got the sled,
And I have packed a snack.
We're all set for the trip ahead.
We're never coming back!

We're abandoning this life we've led!
So long, Mom and Pop!
We're sick of doing what you've said,
And now it's Going to Stop!

We're going where it snows all year,
Where we can have real meaning.
A place where we don't have to hear,
"Your room could stand some cleaning"

The Yukon is the place for us!
That's where we want to live.
Up there we'll get to yell and cuss,
And act real primitive.

We'll never have to go to school,
Forced into submission,
By monstrous, crabby teachers who'll
Make us learn addition.

We'll never have to clean a plate,
Of veggie glops and goos.
Messily, we'll masticate,
Using any fork we choose!

The timber wolves will be our friends,
We'll stay up late and howl,
At the moon, 'till nighttime ends,
Before going on the prowl.

Oh, what a life! We cannot wait,
To be in that arctic land,
Where we'll be masters of our fate,
And lead a life that's grand!

No more of parental rules!
We're heading for some snow!
Good riddance to those grown up ghouls!
We're leaving! Yukon Ho!
