Squawas Along the Yukon Songtext

von Hank Thompson

There's a salmon-colored girl who sets my heart a-whirl
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

(Chorus)
Ooga ooga mooska, which means that I love you
If you'll be my baby, I'll ooga ooga mooska you
Then I take her hand in mine
And set her on my knee
The s 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

(Repeat 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 fuselage divine
And a smile that you can see a mile away

(Repeat Chorus)

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