Lyrics

>
Oh, A Cherokee chief as he dances along
He sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Sayin' "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"
Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
And he keeps on a dancin' everywhere
He's dancin' with a squaw named Standin' Bear
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin' "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"
— Piano solo —
Well, he dances in a trot and he dances in a walk
But he keeps on shakin’ his ol’ tomahawk
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"
Now he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
In his tom tom feet like Chief McCloud
Sayin’ "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Sayin’ "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"
— Guitar, Piano solos —
Well, he's a Cherokee chief as a you all might know
When he sings his boogie sayin’ “nuven-yo”
Sayin’ "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Sayin’ "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"
