Verse 1

C                                 F                     
There's a Salmon-colored girl who sets my heart a-whirl
    G7                          C    
Who lives along the Yukon far a-way.
                                           F                          
Where the Northern Lights, they shine, she rubs her nose to mine.
    G7                               C     
She cuddles close and I can hear her say.
 

Chorus:
                       F                       
OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA which means that I love you. 
   G7                                      C    
If you'll be my baby I'll OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA you.
                                 F                   
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee,
    G7                                         C    
The Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me.


Verse 2
 
C                            F
She makes her underwear from hides of Grizzly bear
    G7                             C
And bathes in ice cold water every day.
                                F   
Her skin I love to touch; but I just can't touch it much
G7                                 C
'cause her fur-lined Parkas' in the way.
 

Chorus:
                       F                       
OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA which means that I love you. 
   G7                                      C    
If you'll be my baby I'll OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA you.
                                 F                   
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee,
    G7                                         C    
The Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me.


Verse 3
 
C                                 F
She's got the Air Corps down, the Sourdoughs hang around,
G7                                  C
Chechakos try to date her night and day.
                                F
With a landing gear that's fine and a fuselage divine
      G7                             C
And a smile that you can see a mile away


Chorus:
                       F                       
OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA which means that I love you. 
   G7                                      C    
If you'll be my baby I'll OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA you.
                                 F                   
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee,
    G7                                         C    
The Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me.

 
TAG
C                    F          
Carry me back to old Alaska.  
    G7                                         C
The Squaws Along The Yukon are good enough for me.
