Shaft in Greenland

The world’s full of danger
You do what you can
You’ll feel like a stranger
Like Shaft in Greenland

Travel around and meet all the people
Work up the nerve to touch them lightly
Travel around and meet all the people
Speak to them so politely
Travel around and meet all the people
Don’t be afraid to shake their hands
Travel around and meet all the people
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland

The worlds 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 the land
Of the midnight sun
He was big and bad, so he traveled to a land
Where it always snows
And nobody gets a tan

The world is a ghetto
A rusted tin can
So pack a stiletto
Like Shaft in Greenland

Probably zotworthy, yet this is a pet peeve of mine.

Old Folks at Home was written by Stephen Foster -- who had never actually been to Florida. He original wrote it about the PeeDee River, but decided that didn't have quite the right ring to it. Smart man.

I'd really like a state song that avoids words like "ribber" and "darkies" -- but that's just me. I'd like a song you could proudly sing at a public gathering. I'd like a state song that has something positive and specific to say about our state -- preferably by someone who has lived here or at least has visited. Keep Old Folks at Home as the "Historic State Song" or something -- keep the history, lose the song.
