"I've seen a blue sky
A purple sky
A black sky
I've seen a gray sky
And one that's orange
But never in my life
Have I seen such a sight
As the green, green sky
Of the northern lights

It turns
It curls
It whirls
It twirls
With a burst of light
Don't ask me why
It turned
And curled
Like a girl's new perm
Like a bird in the sky
Don't ask me why, cause

No, you'll never catch a glimpse of the northern lights
In the bright red glare of the morning lights
No, you'll never catch a glare of the northern lights
Unless the sky is dark at night
You'll never catch a glimpse of the northern lights
In the day blue sky when the sun's up high
No, you'll never catch a glimpse of the northern lights
Unless the sky is dark at night"
