Don't Go Near The Eskimos

Oop shoop moogi mushy doggy-o oop shoop moogi ay

Means 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
