The Dead Milkmen - Shaft In Greenland Lyrics

The Dead Milkmen Lyrics

"Shaft In Greenland"

The world's full of danger
You do what you can
You feel like a stranger
Like Shaft in Greenland

Travel around and meet all the people
Don't be afraid to touch them lightly
Travel around and meet all the people
Speak to them so politely
Travel around and meet all the people
Work up the nerve to shake their hands
Travel around and meet all the people
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland

The world is your oyster
So rake in the clams
And have an adventure
Like Shaft in Greenland

Travel around and see the tundra
Don't be afraid to get out of your car
Travel around and see the tundra
A little bit of Shaft goes real far
Travel around and see the tundra
Dig for dinner in the cold, damp sand
Travel around and see the tundra
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland

He was big and bad, so he traveled to Greenland
He was big and bad, so he traveled to the land of the midnight sun
He was big and bad, so he traveled to Greenland
He was big and bad, so he traveled to a land where it always snowed
And nobody got a tan

The world is a ghetto
A rusted tin can
So pack a stiletto
Like Shaft in Greenland
