Da U. P.

Well, you've
taken me there
The place of
long underwear
It's where I
wanted to go
Where there
lives the Eskymo
Where the
people go ice fishing
While others
are inside and wishing
That the
weather would be nice
Are we not
Yoopers, or are we mice
Well, the
snow, it's falling down
I can see
your footprints on the ground
And it's
gotten very cold
Below zero
I've been told
You almost
have to be super
To live the
life of a Yooper
Wear a chook,
I beg you please
So your head,
it won't freeze
Shoveling
snow from dusk until dawn
It's piled
high upon your lawn
Snowballs
flying in the air
You better
duck, they're everywhere
Oh what a
place to be
A Yooper's
winter in Da U.P.
Oh yes, dats da U.P.
That I know
and love. Dat Winter
season does
get very cold, but dere
is so much
good in it too. Snow
can be pretty.
Fish tastes really
great. But it's my
home and I love it
dere.
