Oh, I wish I were a real Alaskan girl I wish that I could hold my beer I could wear hip waders in summer and heels at ten below I'd have s**y wooly legs with long and flowing frozen hair Oh to be a scowgirl in the Last Frontier Where chicks run the Iditarod and win it Oh, I could wrench on my own goose and I would jerk my own moose And I'd drive a huge domestic truck and actually haul stuff in it A little less sugar, little more spice A whole lot of fire and even more ice From Kotzebue to Ketchikan, from Dead Horse to Attu Alaskan chicks can teach a city girl like me a thing or two Oh, I wish I were a real Alaskan girl Because I hear that they kick a** Oh, it's easy to see why a local woman's in demand The guys have to queue up for years to get a chance to hold your hand I'd find me some big burly bush pilot boy I would hook and reel him in and fiancé him
But if he ever double-crossed me or tried to do me wrong I wouldn't hardly hesitate to skin, gut, and filet him I'd shoot more than a camera at the animals and such I'd eat Rudolph for breakfast and Bullwinkle for lunch Alaskan girls are fearsome and fearless by design They k** mosquitoes with a look and mess with trusting tourists' minds They're ruggedly handsome in their way They're wild and free and meant to be that way So from Jakalof to Juneau raise a gla** to a proud and Confident and deserving Alaskan woman you know And from Beaver to Tatitlek, here's to ladies who understand that their Self-image should have nothing whatsoever to do with their shade of Lipstick I wish I were a real Alaskan girl, but when it comes down to it For most of us, Los Anchorage is gonna have to do it
