	        C There's a Salmon-colored girl who F sets my heart awhirl 
Who G7 lives along the Yukon far a-{C} way 
Where the Northern Lights, they shine, C she rubs her nose to mine 
She G7 cuddles close and I can hear her C say. 
 
CHORUS 
{*OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA}, which C means that I love you  
If G7 you'll be my baby, I'll {*OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA} G7 you 
Then I take her hand in mine and C set her on my knee 
The G7 Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for C 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.
