Song of Kuk-Ook, The Bad Boy

This is the song of Kuk-ook, the bad boy.

Imakayah—hayah,

Imakayah—hayah.

I am going to run away from home, hayah,

In a great big boat, hayah,

To hunt for a sweet little girl, hayah;

I shall get her some beads, hayah;

The kind that look like boiled ones, hayah;

Then after a while, hayah,

I shall come back home, hayah,

I shall call all my relations together, hayah,

And shall give them all a good thrashing, hayah;

I shall marry two girls at once, hayah;

One of the sweet little darlings, hayah,

I shall dress in spotted sealskins, hayah,

And the other dear little pet, hayah,

Shall wear skins of the hooded seal only, hayah.

(Eskimo)
