Dear Mr. Governor

There's a rebel group from Suomi
They got a master plan
To blow up the mighty Mackinaw
And take a rebel stand
Secede from the union
Call this place Yooperland
Become a third world power
Ask the U.S. for a hand
They'll give us lots of raha
We'll be rich as oil sheiks
'Cause they won't want the Russians putting missiles in Trout Creek

Dear Mr. Governor you better turn us loose
We asked you for some rest stops, instead you sent us moose
The honеymoon is over, the declaration's writtеn
We'll take what's above the bridge and
You can keep the mitten

We'll sell clean air to the west
Blueberries to Iran
Ice and snow to the Arabs
Pasties to Japan
Scorpus to the Russians
Smelt to Pakistan
Moose meat to McDonald's
Sisu to Uncle Sam
We'll join the world market
Control the smart pill trade
We'll become a mighty nation
You'll be asking us for aid

Dear Mr. Governor you better turn us loose
We asked you for some rest stops, instead you sent us moose
The honeymoon is over, the declaration's written
We'll take what's above the bridge and
You can keep the mitten
