To Alaska With Love Lyrics

    She tried to push him away with a
    Ten foot pole
    Saying i'm just a crusty old donut
    Without any hole
    Wearying bewildered bachelor how
    Could he know
    That she'd move her suitcase to his place a year ago

    Where he stood in the doorway no clothes wearing
    Asking permission to give all his love and his caring
    Love and care

    Theirs is a real thing, a dish in the sink
    A dog in the stairwell making a stink
    They got a true love so real you can feel it

    For christmas he gave her
    A silver and gold jewish star
    He put it on top of the tree
    And said there you are
    She giggled and cried and
    Rolled on the living room floor
    And laughed at all of his jokes
    So he told her some more

    There he stood in the doorway
    Crumpled and daring
    Asking permission to give all his love
    And his caring
    Love and care

    Theirs is a real thing
    A working man's shoe
    Worn through at the sole
    As good as new
    They got a true love
    So real you can feel it

    Five o'clock by the window pane watching the rain
    New york city blues oh, the rain's coming down hard
    It's dark out there you gotta have something to do

    So one day she said i must go to alaska this winter
    He yelled and kicked the table his toe got a splinter
    Still he escorted her up to the gate at the airport
    Saying dammit i don't understand what you have to go there for

    Calendar pages were flipping he stayed home waiting
    Saying oh this woman i love is so irritating

    Theirs is a real thing, a welcome home kiss
    The smell of his whiskers that she did miss
    They got a true love so real you can feel it
