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 mooshka which means that I love you
|
If you will be my baby I'll ooga ooga mooshka 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 mooshka...
|

|
|
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 mooshka...
|
|
Carry me back to old Alaska
|
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
|
