Lyric
You can talk about your Frauleins and your pretty Geisha girlsAnd about the one you got in the USABut I found myself a sweetheart in Alaska way up highShe’s my Eskimo baby she’s my Eskimo pieShe’s my Eskimo baby she’s my Eskimo pieShe lives south of the North pole and I know the reason whyShe’s my Eskimo baby and I’ll love her till I dieShe’s my Eskimo baby she’s my Eskimo pieCrossing o’er the frozen river to a valley filled with snowI lost all my directions and I knew not where to goWhen a warm hand fell upon me and a voice said with a sighI would take you to my igloo Mister I won’t let you dieWell she’s my Eskimo baby…And there came the day of parting and we had to say goodbyeAs I crossed back o’er the river I could think I hear her cryI know that someday I’ll return I must before I dieCause she’s my Eskimo baby she’s my Eskimo pieWell she’s my Eskimo baby…
