Da Yoopers Don`t Go Up There Lyrics

Don`t Go Up There Lyrics

1. I HAVE TO GO TO MARQUETTE TO ATTEND A SEMINAR 

DO THEY HAVE MOTELS UP THERE AND ROADS TO DRIVE MY CAR 

NO, LEAVE YOUR CAR BELOW THE BRIDGE CAUSE THERE'S NO ROADS UP THERE 

THEY’LL PUT YOU UP IN A TENT SO BRING LONG UNDERWEAR 

I KNEW A GUY WHO HAD AN AUNT WHOSE COUSIN HAD A FRIEND 

WHO ONCE WENT UP ABOVE THE BRIDGE AND WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN 

HE WAS TRAMPLED BY A MOOSE OR EATEN BY A BEAR 

OR SCALPED BY THOSE INDIANS WHO STILL RUN WILD THERE 

CHORUS: 

DON'T GO UP THERE, STAY WHERE YOU’RE AT 

DON’T GO UP THERE YOU WONT COME BACK 

THEY DON’T HAVE NO ELECTRIC LIGHTS TO KEEP AWAY THE WOLVES AT NIGHT 

THEY DON’T HAVE NO LAW AND ORDER STAY DOWN HERE BELOW THE BORDER 

STAY WHERE YOU’RE AT DON’T GO UP THERE YOU WON’T COME BACK 



2. I HEARD THERE WAS A NATIVE TRIBE WAY UP IN THE WOODS 

THEY CALL THEM JACKPINE SAVAGES AND THEY DON’T SPEAK SO GOOD 

YA THEY ALL CARRY GUNS AND KNIVES AND GREAT BIG TOMAHAWKS 

AND THEIR WOMEN DO THEIR LAUNDRY BEATING CLOTHES AGAINST THE ROCKS 

I WANNA GO VACATIONING WAY UP IN THE S00 

SHOULD I BRING ALONG SOME CASH OR WILL MY PLASTIC DO 

ONCE YOU GET ABOVE THE BRIDGE HIRE YOURSELF A GUIDE 

HE’LL TAKE YOU THERE BY DOG SLED FOR FORTY BEAVER HIDE 



CHORUS: 

DON'T GO UP THERE STAY WHERE YOU’RE AT 

DON’T GO UP THERE YOU WONT COME BACK 

THEY DON’T HAVE NO SHOPPING MALLS THEY LIVE LIKE NEANDERTHALS 

THEY DON’T HAVE NO STORES OR FRIDGES STAY DOWN HERE BELOW THE BRIDGE 

STAY WHERE YOU’RE AT DON’T GO UP THERE YOU WONT COME BACK 



3. IN JULY I’M GOING TO YOOPERLAND TO GO SWIMMING IN THE LAKE 

I’LL BRING SOME SUNTAN LOTION WHAT ELSE SHOULD I TAKE 

YOU BETTER BRING AN AX ALONG FOR CHOPPING THROUGH THE ICE 

AND WEAR A THERMAL DIVING SUIT TO GUARD AGAINST FROSTBITE 

I WANNA GO TO YOOPERLAND TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE 

TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO BE A YOOPER WIFE 

YOU GOTTA BUILD AN OUTHOUSE AND SKIN AND COOK A DEER 

AND SNOWSHOE TO THE TRADING POST WHEN YOU’RE OUT OF BEER 



DON’T GO UP THERE STAY WHERE YOU’RE AT 

DON'T GO UP THERE YOU WON’T COME BACK 

THEY DON’T HAVE NO JUMBO JETS NO TELEPHONES NO TV SETS 

THEY DON’T HAVE NO RUNNING WATER STAY DOWN HERE BELOW THE BORDER 

STAY WHERE YOU’RE AT DON’T GO UP THERE YOU WONT COME BACK
