I 500

Lyrics

When the winter's here and we're feeling blue Me and Toivo we head for da Soo He brings the pasties and I bring the beer Just like we done for the last twenty years We see those crazy racers on their snow machines Racing to see who gets to kiss the queen You won't get me on no snowmobile I won't ride nothin' that don't have wheels It's the I-500 that we come to see The biggest event in the whole U.P We stand around and pour beer in our face At the I-500 snow machine race There's Trolls and Cheeseheads and Yoopers too From around the world we all come to the Soo Those good ol' Canadians all come here They're eating our pasties and we're drinking their beer Those lumberjacks from all the way from Duluth They look like Yoopers in their gold steel boots Here come the guys from the TV news I seen them last night throwing up on their shoes It's the I-500 that we come to see The biggest event in the whole U.P We stand around and pour beer in our face At the I-500 snow machine race I go looking for Toivo at the end of the day He musta got drunk and he wandered away I find him frozen to the Porta-John seat With a frozen beer and two frozen feet It's the I-500 that we come to see The biggest event in the whole U.P We stand around and pour beer in our face At the I-500 snow machine race At the I-500 snow machine race
