"Stay tuned for this important announcement from the Security Forces control desk"

They told me I should go to Thule A-F-B                        (1)
Where there's a fine lookin' woman behind every tree
Now I'm stuck inside this flat top in a Level 3 Storm           (2, 3)
And I swear that I'm not gay, but I'm just tryin' ta keep us warm

Hey Thule, look what you're doin' to me
Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down
Thule, I'm here a whole damn year,
and now there's nothin' left to do but pour another round
No there's nothin' left to do but pour another round

Workin' on the base for my own Uncle Sam
with a satellite dish and a radiation tan
We promised to defend freedom, apple pie and mom
and we promise all the Danish that we never had a bomb

Hey Thule, look what you're doin' to me
Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down
Thule, I'm here a whole damn year,
and now there's nothin' left to do but pour another round

Another month of night
Something just ain't right
When my baby is a thousand miles away

How must I spend my time
in this frozen clim'
when the Russians aren't shooting at us anyway            (4)
They never shot us anyway

Hey Thule, look what you're doin' to me
Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down
Thule, I'm here a whole damn year,
and now there's nothin' left to do but pour another round

Hey Thule, look what you're doin' to me
Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down
Thule, I'm here a whole damn year,
and now there's nothin' left to do but pour another round
No there's nothin' left to do but pour another round
No there's nothin' we can do but pour another round





1--AFB = Air Force Base
2--Flat Top = Thule's one-story dormitories
3--Level 3 Storm = (Now called Storm Condition Delta) When winds are greater than 50 knots and visibility is less than 100 yards (and, at the time, temp was below -40°F).
4--During the Cold War, Thule's mission was to "watch" Russia and defend against nuclear attacks over the top of the Earth, since this was the shortest distance between Moscow and the U.S.
