Mr. Speaker, There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the folks who moil for gold;The Arctic trails and the winter tales Will make you long for the cold;The Northern Lights are beautiful sights, For anyone to see, For a night on the marge of Lake Lebarge in the Yukon is the place to be;Now whether you come from Calgary, to kick-sled or flirt in the snow, Or leave home in the south to roam up on Air North, God only knows;Embrace the cold, and the land of gold will hold you like a spell, And then you will say, in your homely way that you have never lived so well. On a Christmas day you can mush your way over the Dawson trail. Lose a toe on the way? That’s okay, it will go in the next cocktail! Ring in the New Year in Beaver Creek, Old Crow or Watson Lake; Wherever you go, you will surely know many sights that will memories make.There are strange things done in the winter’s night by all who would be bold; On Arctic trails amid moonlight spruce you will ski, sled, or look for moose. The northern lights are an incredible sight for all of you to see;Now I welcome you all to the land that I love, happy holidays all, from me!
