WHEN THE ICE WORMS NEST AGAIN

LYRICS

There’s a dusky, husky maiden in the Arctic, 
and she waits for me, but it is not in vain,
For some day I’ll put my mukluks on and ask her 
If she’ll wed me when the ice worms nest again.

“You bet!” 

In the land of the pale blue snow, where it’s ninety nine below,
And the polar bears are roaming o’er the plain,
In the shadow of the Pole, I will clasp her to my soul;
We’ll be married when the ice worms nest again.

For our wedding feast we’ll have seal oil and blubber,
In our kayak we will roam the bounding main;
All the walruses will look at us in wonder,
We’ll be married when the ice worms nest again.

In the land of the pale blue snow, where it’s ninety nine below,
And the polar bears are roaming o’er the plain,
In the shadow of the Pole, I will clasp her to my soul,
We’ll be married when the ice worms nest again.
