"Squaws Along The Yukon" lyrics

Squaws Along The Yukon

There's a salmon-colored girl
Who sets my heart awhirl
Who lives along the Yukon far away

Where the Northern Lights they shine
She rubs her nose to mine
She cuddles close
And I can hear her say

Ooga ooga mooska
Which means that I love you
If you will be my baby
I'll ooga ooga mooska you

Then I take her hand in mine
And set her on my knee
The squaws along the Yukon
Are good enough for me

She makes her underwear
From hides of grizzly bear
And bathes in ice cold water every day

Her skin I love to touch
But I just can't touch it much
Because her fur lined parka's in the way

Ooga ooga mooska
Which means that I love you
If you will be my baby
I'll ooga ooga mooska you

Then I take her hand in mine
And set her on my knee
The squaws along the Yukon
Are good enough for me

She has the Air Corps down
The Sourdoughs hang around
Chechakos try to date her night and day

With a landing gear that's fine
And a fuselage divine
And a smile that you can see a mile away

Ooga ooga mooska
Which means that I love you
If you will be my baby
I'll ooga ooga mooska you

Then I take her hand in mine
And set her on my knee
The squaws along the Yukon
Are good enough for me

Carry me back to old Alaska
The squaws along the Yukon
Are good enough for me
