The world's full of danger
You do what you can
You feel like a stranger
Like Shaft in Greenland
Travel around and meet all the people
Don't be afraid to touch them lightly
Travel around and meet all the people
Speak to them so politely
Travel around and meet all the people
Work up the nerve to shake their hands
Travel around and meet all the people
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland
The world is your oyster
So rake in the clams
And have an adventure
Like Shaft in Greenland
Travel around and see the tundra
Don't be afraid to get out of your car
Travel around and see the tundra
A little bit of Shaft goes real far
Travel around and see the tundra
Dig for dinner in the cold, damp sand
Travel around and see the tundra
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland
He was big and bad, so he traveled to Greenland
He was big and bad, so he traveled to the land of the midnight sun
He was big and bad, so he traveled to Greenland
He was big and bad, so he traveled to a land where it always snowed
And nobody got a tan
The world is a ghetto
A rusted tin can
So pack a stiletto
Like Shaft in GreenlandWell I don't tell jokes
And I don't take notes
You been sayin
there ain't much hope
You got nothin' on me
I got friends uptown
And they don't talk down
They be keepin me safe and sound
We got somethin' to be
So in case you hadn't noticed
I'm alright
Not like it was before
Things used to be so hopeless
But not tonight
Tonight I'm walkin out that door
I'm not gonna cry
When wavin' goodbye
And I know this time
You got nothin on me
Well it ain't that tough
Just more of the usual stuff
One heartache is more than enough
There ain't nothing to see
Nothing
I got friends uptown
And they still come 'round
They be keepin me safe and sound
We got somethin' to be
So don't you try to save me
With your advice
Or turn me into something else
Cuz I'm not crazy
And you're not nice
Baby if you do
keep it to yourself
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm wavin goodbye
And I know this time
You got nothin on me.
(No nothin' on me)
(Repeat chorus X2)
