There's a Salmon-colored girl who sets my heart awhirl
G7C
Who lives along the Yukon far a- way
C
Where the Northern Lights, they shine, she rubs her nose to mine
G7C
She cuddles close and I can hear her say.
CHORUS
*OOGA-OOCA MOOSKA
, which means that I love you
G7 *G7GA-OOGA MOOSKA
If you'll be my baby, I'll you
C
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
G7C
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 Parkas' in the way.
CHORUS
She's got 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 fusilage divine
And a smile that you can see a mile away.
CHORUS
TAG: Carry me back to old Alaska
The Squaws Along The Yukon are good enough for me.
