Letra Johnny Peckanen de Da Yoopers original

1. HIS NAME IS JOHNNY PECKANEN

WHEN COPPER TOOK A NOSE DIVE
HE GOT HIS WALKING PAPERS
HAD TO SELL THE FAMILY FARM
JUST TO TRY TO MAKE ER
CHORUS:
HE'S YOOPANESE, YOOPANESE,
A VERY SPECIAL BREED
DAGO, FIN, COUSIN JACK,

WE DUG THE ORE AND CUT THE TREES
THAT BUILT THIS MIGHTY NATION
