I WAS SITTING IN A DETROIT BAR THIS GUY HE SAYS TO ME

YOU MUST BE FROM CANADA, NEWFOUNDLAND MAYBE

NO, I SAID, YOUR SLIGHTLY OFF, AS I POINTED WITH MY BEER

I�M FROM UP ABOVE THE MITTEN, THIS PLACE OVER HERE

I STILL WEAR MY SWAMPERS AND I DRIVE MY BEAT UP TRUCK

I GO UP TO WITCH LAKE EVERY YEAR TO GET MY BUCK

WHEN I GET BACK TO DETROIT ALL THE GUYS THEY LAUGH AT ME

TWO WEEKS AT THE DEER CAMP AND I�M SPEAKING YOOPANESE

I�M A YOOPERMAN FROM YOOPERLAND, YOU�LL FIND US EVERYWHERE

I COME HERE FOR THE PAYCHECKS, BUT I MISS THAT U.P. AIR

I�M A YOOPERMAN FROM YOOPERLAND, I�M NOT DOWN HERE BY CHOICE

MY HEART IS BACK IN YOOPERLAND BUT MY ASS IS IN DETROIT



MY WIFE IS FROM MT. CLEMENS, SHE�S A TROLL FROM DOWN BELOW

I DRAGGED HER UP TO YOOPERLAND, SHE DIDN�T WANNA GO

BUT WHEN SHE SAW THE COLORS AND SHE SMELLED THAT U.P. AIR

NOW SHE WANTS TO QUIT HER JOB AND GO TO LIVE UP THERE

I WORK HARD FOR HENRY FORD I NEVER MISS A DAY

I DON�T LIKE THE CITY BUT I SURE DON�T MIND THE PAY

MY KIDS WERE BORN BELOW THE BRIDGE BUT THEIR ROOTS THEY CAN�T FORGET

WE HEAD NORTH TO YOOPERLAND EVERY CHANCE WE GET



I�M A YOOPERMAN FROM YOOPERLAND, YOU�LL FIND US EVERYWHERE

I COME HERE FOR THE PAYCHECKS, BUT I MISS THAT U.P. AIR

I�M A YOOPERMAN FROM YOOPERLAND, IM NOT DOWN HERE BY CHOICE

MY HEART IS BACK IN YOOPERLAND, BUT MY ASS IS IN DETROIT
