Hoonah - Tune of Camptown Races

We're on an Alaska cruise - Hoonah Hoonah
Seeing many scenic views - all de Hoonah day
Gonna sail all night - gonna sail all day 
Spending money in the tourist shops - all de Hoonah day 

Skagway, Juneau, no debate - Hoonah, Hoonah
All seem similar 'til Icy Strait - where the Tlingit stay
Hoonah is the town - not of great renown
Grizzlies, whales and people coexist - that's the Hoonah way

Souvenirs seem much less tacky here - in Hoonah Hoonah
Authenticity won't disappear - all de Hoonah day
Though it's quite remote - it will get my vote 
As a place you'll be surprised to like - all de Hoonah day

Ilene, aren't you concerned about a 'blacklash' over this one? ---Probably not from the Soupers, at least. :) gw
