Текст песни: Don't Go Near The Eskimos + перевод

Oop shoop moogi mushy doggy, oh

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

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 get back by morning

'Cause the nights are six months long

And there she was

Sitting on a chunk of ice

Eating a frozen fish

And dipping her friskies

In whale blubbe

And I said, ooga shooga mooshka

Which means the love in my heart

Is a burning

And she said, ooga 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’d love to melt

Them 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

He said, son, when you were born

Well, the Eskimo and the white man

Were having a lot of wild parties, see

The Eskimos always brought the ice

Well, they’s having a lot of fun, you see

So one night, this Eskimo named Pie Eye

That’s right, son, a pie-eyed Eskimo

He stole my little boy and made

A icicle out of him

So I stole you to get even

I was gonna make a

Fudgesicle out of you

But I loved you like you’s my very own

And I treated you just, you know

Just like the cold blooded

Little Eskimo that you are

So you see, son, you can never

Rub noses with Um Shog Nee no more

Because, excuse me, see, Um Shog Nee

Has the coldest nose in Alaska

And that’s why I’ve always say
