Don't go near the eskimos
Ben colderMeans son don't go near the Eskimos please do what I say
My daddy was working for the weather station a little bit north of Nome
And I grew up in that frozen country where the nights are six months long
I used to play like I was an Eskimo I put whale oil on my hair
And every night I would beg my folks let me sleep in the frigid air
Oop shoop moogi mushy doggy-o...
I was seventeen and my voice was changing but the girls didn't thrill me none
Cause I longed to go see an Eskimo on the banks of the old Yukon
One night I slipped from my daddy's house a little bit north of Nome
I knew that I could be back by morning cause the nights are six months long
Oop shoop moogi mushy doggy-o...
And there she was sittin' on a chunk of ice
Eatin' a frozen fish and dipping her friskies in whale blubber
And I said ooga shooga mooshka
Which means the love in my heart is a burning
And she said shooga mooshka nooshka
And that means back up buddy you're melting the ice
I went back home and I told my daddy about this maiden fair
And how I felt I would like to melt the icicles in her hair
Dad's trembling lips turned purple and his breath began to freeze
It was then he told me I could never rub noses with pretty little Um Shog Nee
Son when you were born the white man and the Eskimo
Well they were havin' a lot of wild parties together
And an Eskimo named Pie Eye that's right son a Pie-Eyed Eskimo
Froze my little boy and made an icicle out of him
So I stole you to get even I was gonna make a fudgesicle out of you
But I raised you like you were my very own
And I've loved you like the cold blooded little Eskimo that you are
So you see son you can never rub noses with Um Shog Nee
No it's not because she is your sister
But son Um Shog Nee has got the coldest nose in Alaska
And that's why I've always said
Oop shoop moogi mushy doggy-o...
