Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dreamed I was an Eskimo
(Buh-buh-dah-dah-dah-dah-bah-duh-duh)
Frozen wind began to blow
(Buh-buh-dah-dah-dah-dah-bah-duh-duh)
Under my boots and around my toes
(Buh-buh-dah-dah-dah-dah-bah-duh-duh)
The frost that bit the ground below (Buh-buh-ah-eh-ay-ay)
It was a hundred degrees below zero...
(Buh! Buh-buh-dah-dah-dah-dah-bah-duh-duh)
[Verse 2]
And my mama cried (Uh-uh-hoo-hoo)
And my mama cried
(Nanook, a-no-no, no-no, Nanook, a-no-no, no-no)
Don't be a naughty Eskimo
(Buh-buh-dah-dah-dah-dah-bah-duh-duh)
Save your money, don't go to the show
[Verse 3]
Well, I turned around and I said "Ho, ho" (Buh!)
Well, I turned around and I said "Ho, ho" (Buh!)
Well, I turned around and I said "Ho-Ho"
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said (Buh-buh-dodo), with a tear in her eye
[Outro]
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"
