Kalaallisut

Kalaallisut, or West Greenlandic, is the standard dialect of the Greenlandic language, spoken by the vast majority of the inhabitants of Greenland, as well as by thousands of Greenlandic Inuit in Denmark proper (in total, approximately 50,000 people). Kalaallisut means "Greenlandic" and is virtually identical to modern standard Greenlandic. It was historically spoken only in the southwestern part of Greenland, i.e. the region around Nuuk.

Tunumiit and Inuktun are regional dialects of Greenlandic, spoken by a small minority of the population. Danish remains an important lingua franca in Greenland and used in many parts of public life, as well as being the main language spoken by Danes in Greenland.

An extinct mixed trade language known as West Greenlandic Pidgin was based on West Greenlandic.

Cool Side

by: Bob

[Verse 1]
I was on Miami Beach
Saw the girl of my fantasy
She was into finer things
Bathing suits and diamond belly rings
She was something like I never seen
Made me blow the whistle like the referee
Beside her is where I plan to be
And so to get her I'd do anything
Maybe even start a family
Or even get a house in Sandy Springs
She's so lovely like a melody
So baby, won't you come and jam with me?
[Chorus x2]
And she was so cool
Like the other side of a pillow
So baby, let's groove
Like an instrumental
[Verse 2]
Well come on over to my place
No need to be wasting time
You really must be from outer pace
Cause you really is blowing my mind
Now I done been from state to state
But I ain't never seen your kind
Cause every single time I look at you
Sends a tingling down my spine
Well girl, you must be mighty exhausted
Running these laps through my mind so often
Cause I been fallin', and I been callin'
I think I need a map cause' I'm so lost in
The things you do when you brush your hair
When you take it to the side and toss it over there
And it ain't that fair, cause the way she move
I stare
[Chorus x2]
And she was so cool
Like the other side of a pillow
So baby, let's groove
Like an instrumental
[Verse 3]
And she's so cool
Cool like a pool in the middle of June
I sweep her off her feet
I guess you could say that I give her the broom
And she gets so international with it
Whenever she get in the mood
Cause she's so Australian
Down under on my didgeridoo
And she be killin' it too, yeah
When she go in for the gold
Like a gymnast move
Oh, and what they saying is true, yeah
A lady in the bed but a freak in the room
That's why she's cooly, cooly, cooly
Like a smoothie in a jacuzzi
The opposite of Judge Judy
When she on duty
And she feeling me too
[Chorus x2]
And she was so cool
Like the other side of a pillow
So baby, let's groove
