1. I REMEMBER BACK IN ‘58 WHEN I WAS JUST A LAD

I WENT UP TO THE COPPER COUNTRY HUNTING WITH MY DAD

THE GROUND WAS BARE AND FROZEN SO WE COULDN’T TRACK NO DEER

SO MY OLD MAN GOT HIS KNAPSACK AND HE FILLED IT UP WITH BEER

HE SAID WE GOTTA TAKE A HIKE WAY OUT IN THE WOODS

THERE’S THIS GUY NAMED HEIKKI LUNTA HE’S CRAZY BUT HE’S GOOD

WE’LL LET HIM DRINK A COUPLE BEERS AND WHEN HE STARTS TO GLOW

HE’LL DO THE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE AND THEN JUST WATCH IT SNOW

CHORUS:

DANCE, DANCE, DANCE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE

MAKE IT SNOW, SNOW, SNOW HEIKKI LUNTA SNOW

DANCE, DANCE, DANCE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE



2. I REMEMBER IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE 15 YEARS AGO

ALL THE KIDS WERE CRYING CAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE NO SNOW

ACCORDING TO THE WEATHERMAN THEY DIDN’T HAVE A CHANCE

BUT THE WEATHERMAN DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE

HEIKKI PUT HIS SNOWSHOES ON AND GRABBED A CAN OF BEER

HE PUT ON HIS GIANT PARTRIDGE WINGS AND ANTLERS FROM A DEER

THEN HE GRABBED A CEDAR BRANCH AND DANCED AROUND THE YARD

EVERYBODY SAID THEY NEVER SEEN IT SNOW SO HARD





3. I RECALL A TOURNAMENT OUT AT SUICIDE

ALL THE SNOW WAS MELTING AND WE COULDN’T GET A RIDE

ONE CRAZY FINN CAME DOWN THE HILL AND LANDED ON THE ROCKS

THEY SENT HIM BACK TO FINLAND IN A HOMEMADE CEDAR BOX

WE LOOKED FOR HEIKKI LUNTA BUT HE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND

WE COULDN’T DO NO JUMPING WITH NO SNOW ON THE GROUND

IT WAS CARL PELLONPAA WHO FINALLY SAVED THE DAY

WE DID THE HEIKKI LUNTA DANCE I THINK IT SNOWED TILL MAY
