The Heikki Lunta Snow Dance Song

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen! The original “Heikki Lunta Snow Dance Song!”
Now I’ll sing my song
To make the snow come down
And I’ll do my snow dance
Whoops! I almost lost my pants
I’ll holler and yell,
And really give it---
It’s Heikki’s snow dance song,
Heikki’s snow dance song
We gotta have some snow by the 4th of December
“Heikki Lunta, make it snow!” say all the Range Club members
The races are only three weeks away
And if I don’t make it snow, I’ll go back to making hay
It’s Heikki Lunta’s snow dance song,
Heikki Lunta’s snow dance song.
Snow, snow, snow!
Now I’ll dance some more,
And I’ll really know the score
How to make it snow,
Come on, man, go, go, go!
Don’t even slow down
till the snow starts falling down
It’s Heikki Lunta’s snow dance song,
Heikki Lunta’s snow dance song.
Snow, snow, come on, snow!

Oh, I sang my song,
And I made the snow come down
And I did my dance,
Now I’m
gonna lose my pants
If I don’t make it stop-
Look out! Here comes a snowball filled wit’ rocks!
Heikki Lunta, Go Away,
That’s all I hear
them say.
I didn’t expect this lot,
I’m so fright’d to my you-know-what
And I’m really in a jam
Things really got out o’ hand
And they’re throwing beer cans
And they swear and I hear them say,
Heikki Lunta, go away,
Heikki Lunta, go away.
So I really overdid it
And I can’t make it stop
Look out, here comes another snowball-
Really filled with big rocks!
Heikki Lunta, go away,
Heikki Lunta, go away.
I’d do a little bragging,
If the roof on my shack weren’t sagging,
Next time my dance won’t be free,
There’ll be a two-dollar fee
They won’t hire me for nothing
It ain’t working, all the kicking and punching!
Heikki Lunta, go away,
Heikki Lunta, go away.
Heikki Lunta, go away, go away, go away!

I remember back in ’58 when I was 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 out and filled it up with beer
He said we gotta take a hike way out into 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 watch it snow
Dance, dance, dance, Heikki Lunta, dance
Make it snow, snow, snow, Heikki Lunta, snow
Dance, dance, dance, Heikki Lunta, dance
I remember Christmas Eve fifteen years ago
All the kids were crying; they didn’t have no snow
According to the weatherman, they didn’t have a chance
The weatherman don’t know about the Heikki Lunta dance
Heikki put his snowshoes on and grabbed a can of beer
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
Dance, dance, dance, Heikki Lunta, dance
Make it snow, snow, snow, Heikki Lunta, snow
Dance, dance, dance, Heikki Lunta, dance
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
Dance, dance, dance, Heikki Lunta, dance,
Make it snow, snow, snow, Heikki Lunta, snow
Dance, dance, dance, Heikki Lunta, dance
