Lyrics for "Whitehorse, Land of the Midnight Sun"
This fall we're headed northward
Through the snow, we're Yukon bound

Right through the Klondike Pass
Where all that famous gold was found

We're headed straight to Whitehorse
To see if we'll win an award

If we do we might stay there
We surely won't be bored

Ah Whitehorse, Land of Midnight Sun
Ah Yukon, the fun has just begun

We'll climb the tallest mountain
Take a snow bath on it's peak

We'll head up to Old Crow
Where there is darkness for a week

We'll yell "mush" to our dog sled team
And join the Yukon Quest

Never looking back we'll be so
Glad we headed west

Ah Whitehorse, Land of Midnight Sun
Ah Yukon, the fun has just begun

With frostbite in summer
Northern lights in winter
Point your compass to the north
For a great adventure

If you tip that musk ox
You better be prepared
He'll chase you back to Winnipeg
You've never been so scared

Wearing 20 layers
You still feel the cold
Six more months to go
You think you're gonna fold

Grizzlies, coyotes, wolverines
'Round every corner
The moose hunt doesn't go so great
'Cause you're a foreigner

The Yukon's famous history
With Sam Steele at its head
We've got to some Klondike gold
Before we go to bed
