That's What I Like About the North

We've got sun in the summer, and some in the winter
And fun most all the time
But we've got time in the winter for the things of the summer
That didn't get done on time

Cause we're busy in the summer, we gotta get out, you won't find us inside
There's beaches to walk where the sea gulls are squawking', and flyin' at high tide
There's lakes and rivers everywhere that need to be canoed
There's berries to pick and rivers to fish, and that's abundant food
There's time to do what you need to do, and somehow there's still more
Cause the sun's still up and the days are long, and that's what I like about the north

We've got sun in the summer, and some in the winter
And fun most all the time
But we've got time in the winter for the things of the summer
That didn't get done on time

We're busy in the winter, we gotta get out, we got it all planned
When the rivers all freeze, we'll slip on our skis, it's a winter wonderland
There are books to read and minds to feed, it's nice to be inside
On a snowy night with the northern lights, we hibernate and hide
There's time to do what you wanna do, but no time to get bored
When the nights are long, you gotta get along, and that's what I like about the north

We've got sun in the summer, and some in the winter
And fun most all the time
But we've got time in the winter for the things of the summer
That didn't get done on time

We're busy in Alaska, we gotta be, that's the way we choose
We learn to be a winner here, cause it's too cold to lose
The people make it special here, they think, "I think I can"
And if you can't, you can find some help, cause your neighbor gives a damn
There's time to learn what you wanna learn, all you gotta do is ask
Cause the people here are as good as gold, and that's what I like about Alas . . . ka
