Lyrics:

I can go to North Dakota.  I can go to Timbuktu.
I can climb the highest mountain.  I can sail the ocean blue.
I can go and teach the Indian.  I can teach the Chinese too.
And save the souls of men.

Chorus:

I can be a missionary (3x)
And save the souls of men.

Adapt and Make It Local

It’s also fun to change the lyrics to include place names that are familiar to the children you are teaching.    As an example, the following are lyrics that a group of children in Asia came up with:

I can go to Laos and Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia too.
I can climb the highest mountain, sail the South Pacific too.
I can teach Chinese and Indians, Filipinos, Malaysians too.
And save the souls of men.
