Lyrics
On The Tundra Tonight
Copyright Ric Seaberg 2000
Grab a pick and a shovel
A parka might be nice
We found an ancient mammoth
Buried in the ice
Icefield in motion
Hairdryer and tools
No vodka while working
You know that's against the rules
(chorus)
We are digging a hole
Pretty much by hand
On Siberian soil
Not a temperate land
We are digging a hole
To reveal the sight
Of a hairy old beast
On the tundra tonight
The Discovery Channel
Kinda blows my mind
TV worth watchin'
Most of the time
There goes the chopper
To the sound of cheers
The Woolly Mammoth is waking up after
Twenty thousand years
We are digging a hole
The size of a car
Not a Beetle or a Beamer
Or a Jaguar
We are digging a hole
To reveal the sight
Of a hairy old beast
On the tundra tonight
(guitar solo)
We are digging a hole
In the ice and slush
An extreme intellectual
Adrenaline rush
We are digging a hole
To reveal the sight
Of a hairy old beast
On the tundra tonight
fade on tun-tundra tonight
