lyrics

There is no time to be wasting, get on my Greyhound bus
There is a gold rush, up in Nunavut
Get your pick axe and join me

I was sitting on the couch when your bus smashed through my house
I hope all of this gold, can repair my living room
Oh well, do you need dynamite?

You better bet your life
All of us are about to make a killing
We'd better hurry 'cuz the clock is ticking
Before the highway's full, we'd better go

They picked me up Kenora, we went through Manitoba
I had a wartime flashback, oh well that's all in my past

The road is getting snowy
The wind is really blowing
Speed limits we seem to be forgoing

I'm just a tourist in Edmonton
Taking in the landmarks of the nation
I think that's my bus waiting
Over here at the gas station

Road trip, road trip, road trip, road trip
Better get flying, 'cuz there's gold to be mining
On this road trip
One Hell of an absolutely smashing Canadian road trip
Come on hit the gas, the Yukon we just passed, get over this hill and-

I am Frozona, wizard of the North
With pick axes and bombs you've come forth
To take the resources of this land
and now I shall curse you, with the wave of my...

Not so fast, now I'm cooking with gas
Wizard of Ice, I'm going to toast your ass
Skin graft, is what you're gonna need you little dweeb
I'm here to mine and you'll never st...

Our bus broke down and we escaped
A terrible Ice Wizard fate
Now on foot we do embark
The snowy lands of ol' Denmark, ol’ Denmark

Sorry folks, it seems to me
Terry don’t know Geography
This is Northern Canada
I hope you got the stamina, here we go

Nunavut Gold Rush
We ain’t got the bus
Nunavut Gold Rush
Tell me why did I go, I could really use a beer
You can cry all you want, but the gold is near

I would rather be at home
Then on an arctic plain to roam
It’s just another mile now
There it is! Um, guys, we got a problem

Nunavut Gold Rush
It wasn’t there for us
Nunavut Gold Rush
Tell me why did we go, the Americans came first
They took every last drop, of gold and snow, I’m cursed

Nunavut Gold Rush
Nothing but a bust
Nunavut Gold Rush
We got back to the bus, and I did not believe it
On the smashed windshield, there was a parking ticket
